Qualification Award
Receive formal recognition of your skills through a nationally recognised qualification. This credential opens doors to new opportunities and career advancement in the disability sector.
RPL is a recognition process that allows you to gain formal recognition for the skills and knowledge you already possess, even if you haven’t acquired them through traditional classroom-based education or training programs. It’s about acknowledging that learning can occur in various ways and settings.
Save Time and Money: RPL can shorten the time required to complete a qualification, which means you can achieve your goals faster and often at a lower cost.
Value Your Experience: Your years of work experience count. RPL recognises your on-the-job learning and expertise, giving you a head start in your career.
Customised Learning: RPL allows you to focus on areas where you need to upskill, rather than relearning what you already know.
Initial Assessment: We’ll start with an initial assessment to understand your qualifications, experience, and career goals.
Portfolio Development: You’ll work with our RPL assessors to compile evidence of your skills and knowledge. This can include work samples, references, certifications, and more.
Assessment: Our qualified assessors will review your portfolio and may conduct interviews or practical assessments to verify your skills.
Recognition: Once your RPL assessment is successful, you’ll receive formal recognition, such as a nationally recognised qualification or statement of attainment.
RPL is available to anyone with relevant skills and experience, regardless of their background or age. It’s particularly beneficial for :
- Experienced professionals seeking formal recognition.
- Career changers looking to transition into a new industry.
- Individuals with overseas qualifications seeking Australian recognition.
- Those who want to update their qualifications.
