Let qualify me, qualify you
Let qualify me, qualify you

Hey there! I’m Sam from Qualify Me!, and I want to talk about one of the easiest and fastest ways to get qualified in Australia—Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). If you’ve been working in your trade for years but don’t have the formal qualifications, RPL is your best bet for turning your experience into a nationally recognised qualification.

Let’s dive into what RPL is, how it works, and why it’s the perfect solution for tradies and professionals who want to get qualified without going back to school.

What is RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning)?

RPL is a process that allows you to gain a formal qualification based on the skills and knowledge you’ve gained through work experience. Instead of spending years in training, you can use the RPL process to prove that you already know your trade inside and out.

"RPL is perfect for people who’ve learned their skills on the job and don’t want to go through the hassle of starting from scratch," I always say to my clients.

With RPL, you submit evidence of your experience, and once it’s been assessed, you’ll get your qualification without needing to sit in a classroom.

Who is RPL For?

RPL is ideal for anyone with hands-on experience in their field but no formal qualification. Whether you’re in carpentry, landscape construction, or commercial cooking, RPL allows you to get qualified quickly by proving what you already know.

"We’ve helped people from all kinds of industries—carpentry, business, baking, and more—turn their experience into qualifications with RPL," I tell all my clients at Qualify Me!.

How Does RPL Work?

The RPL process is straightforward. Here’s how we make it work for you at Qualify Me!:

  1. Skills Assessment: We start with a free assessment of your current skills to see if you qualify for RPL.
  2. Submit Your Evidence: You’ll need to gather proof of your experience, like photos of your work, references from employers, or any prior certificates.
  3. Competency Check: We evaluate your evidence to ensure it meets the national standards for your industry.
  4. Get Qualified: Once everything is approved, you’ll receive your qualification, which is nationally recognised.
