The RPL Certificate Process

The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) approach acknowledges that candidates may have gained appropriate knowledge, understanding, and skills during their previous work experience (paid or unpaid), be it in Australia or further afield. It also takes into consideration any competencies the individual will have developed as a result of engaging in learning experiences in Australia or overseas. RTOs take into consideration an individual’s existing skills and knowledge as acquired in a practical, non-formal or formal learning setting as a means of assessing whether that person can demonstrate the required competencies associated with the relevant Australian standards. Getting your formal qualification via a RPL certificate is the fastest and most cost effective way to enable you to apply for your trade licence / ticket.

For example, someone who has spent many years working as a PA within an office setting will have developed many skills that are considered to be part of a qualification in business administration. Previous work experience in a garage may have provided someone with competencies that are relevant to a trade qualification in mechanics. In some cases, previous work, voluntary and learning experiences may not be sufficient to provide an individual will a full recognition of prior learning qualification. However, the competencies he or she has gained can be used as credit towards units of competency and may reduce the amount of time or the number of modules a student is required to complete a qualification.

Our self paced RPL certificate process means there is no classroom study and zero interruptions to your work and life schedule.

Why choose Qualify Me?

    RPL stands for Recognition of Prior Learning. As the name suggests, the best RPL providers Australia such as Qualify Me can provide you with a nationally recognised qualification simply by assessing your prior work experience. There is no classroom study and zero interruptions to your work and life schedule. Recognition of Prior Learning assesses what you already know and checking if it matches the qualification you want to obtain. The best part is that it takes into consideration formal, non-formal and informal learning.

    To receive your RPL certificate, all you need to do is apply to Qualify Me. You'll need to provide evidence to support your application. This may include documents such as a report or a portfolio of work samples, or evidence of assessment activities, such as work observations or interviews.

    All Qualify Me RPL qualifications and RPL certifications are nationally recognised across Australia. That means no matter which state you travel to, you can enjoy the increased earning potential and career benefits from your RPL qualification.

    Anyone who has previous knowledge, experience, or skills that are relevant to the course of study that they want to complete can apply for their RPL certificate regardless of whether your training or experience was in Australia or abroad. To be successful, you need to be able to provide evidence of the skills and knowledge you have gained.

    1) Career progression: In a competitive industry, the edge always goes to those who have experience and recognition. That's why becoming qualified with RPL Australia is the best and fastest way to progressing your career.

    2) Increased earning potential: qualified blue-collar and white-collar Australian's earn, on average 30% more than non-qualified Australians.

    3) Ability to apply for your trade ticket/licence to start your own business: An industry ticket/trade licence is not the same as a RPL qualification/RPL certificate. However, the requirement to apply for your industry ticket/trade licences from the state authority (eg: Fair Trading NSW) requires that you already possess certain qualifications/certificates. Qualify Me RPL Australia provides the required qualifications (via RPL a certificate) that are required to gain your trade licence.

    For most trades industries, an industry ticket / trade licence is required before you can perform work under your own business. For example, you need a building licence before you can do any residential building work in NSW valued at more than $5000 (incl GST) in labour and materials.

    Here are the steps to starting your own business:

    1) Gain required qualifications using RPL Certification with Qualify Me!

    All our students get a free business start up package once they get qualified.

    2) Apply to the state authority (eg: Fair Trading NSW) for your industry licence/ticket

    It can be difficult to find the time & effort to fit an entire course into our lives, especially for those already working and juggling other commitments.

Simply start your free 60 second skills assessment now, and our assessors can provide you the lowest RPL Australia price, guaranteed.
