What Is RPL and How Do We Use It To Help You
RPL stands for Recognition of Prior Learning, which is an assessment process that uses your already existing skills, knowledge and experience to achieve a formal qualification or units of competency in place of study.
RPL is a method of assessment that makes formal qualifications more accessible to people already in the workforce, building their careers.
RPL, or Recognition of Prior Learning, is a process that
acknowledges and assesses an your existing skills, knowledge,
and experience gained through work, life experiences, or
formal/informal training. It allows you to obtain a nationally
recognised qualification based on your demonstrated
competency, without having to undergo the full training
program.
The RPL process involves a thorough assessment of an your skills and knowledge against the requirements of a particular qualification. This assessment is conducted by qualified assessors who evaluate the evidence you provide, such as work samples, references, certifications, and testimonials. The
assessors determine if you meet the competency standards
required for the qualification and grant credit accordingly.
RPL offers several advantages, including:
- Time and Cost Efficiency: RPL recognises existing skills and
knowledge, allowing you to gain a qualification without
undergoing unnecessary training. This saves you time and
money. - Career Advancement: RPL can open doors to new job
opportunities, promotions, or career transitions by
providing formal recognition of your skills and
competencies. - Increased Employability: Having a nationally recognised
qualification obtained through RPL enhances
employability and improves chances of securing desired
roles within the industry. - Personal Development: Undertaking the RPL process encourages self-reflection, highlighting areas of expertise
and areas for further growth and development.
Yes, RPL is nationally recognised in Australia. The Australian
Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) regulates RPL and ensures that
the process aligns with national standards. Accredify partners
with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and follows these
standards to provide credible and nationally recognised RPL
qualifications
Yes, RPL can be used to obtain a trade license in many cases.
Accredify specialises in assisting individuals and businesses
with trade licensing, including the RPL process for license
requirements. Through the RPL assessment, your skills and
experience can be evaluated to meet the licensing criteria,
facilitating the licensing application process.
The evidence required for the RPL assessment process may
vary depending on the qualification and industry. Common
types of evidence include work samples, resumes, job
descriptions, references, qualifications, certificates, licenses,
portfolios, and any other relevant documentation that
demonstrates your skills and experience.
The duration of the RPL assessment process depends on the
complexity of the qualification and the amount of evidence
provided. It can typically take a few weeks to complete the
assessment once all required documentation is submitted.
Yes, international qualifications can be considered for RPL
assessment. Accredify takes into account international
qualifications and assesses them against the Australian
qualification framework and industry standards. The assessors
will evaluate the equivalence of your international
qualifications and determine the level of credit you may be
eligible for.
The cost of the RPL process can vary depending on the
qualification and the level of assessment required. Accredify
offers competitive pricing and provides transparent
information regarding the costs involved.
While RPL offers flexibility and recognition of existing skills, there
may be limitations or restrictions depending on the
qualification and industry requirements. Some qualifications
may have specific mandatory training components that
cannot be covered through RPL alone. Accredify ensures that
the RPL process complies with regulatory standards and
industry guidelines to provide accurate assessments
Yes, RPL can be used to upgrade an existing qualification. If
you have completed a lower-level qualification and wish to
progress to a higher-level qualification within the same field,
RPL can be applied to assess your competency against the
higher-level qualification requirements. This allows you to gain
recognition for the skills and knowledge you have acquired
since obtaining the initial qualification.
If you do not meet the requirements for RPL, Accredify will
provide feedback and guidance on the additional steps you
can take to meet the competency standards for the desired
qualification. This may involve undertaking further training,
completing gap assessments, or pursuing alternative
pathways to gain the necessary skills and knowledge.
