Pathways for flexible learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

An RPL certification recognises the skills and experience you already have. This can help you advance your career, increase your income, and formalise your credentials. If you have experience, skills and knowledge in your field of work in Australia, like a Certificate in Building and Construction, then there is a chance you are already eligible, or at least close to eligible, to get a related qualification.

With RPL, you don’t have to study what you already know. You will instead be assessed based on your skills, knowledge, and experience acquired through school, study, and life. Gap training can be provided if necessary.
