Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
If you've put in the hard work in your industry but lack the formal qualification to show for it, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) could be the perfect solution for you.
What is RPL?
RPL is a process that allows individuals to receive formal acknowledgment for skills and knowledge they have acquired through work experience, informal training, or other life experiences. This can lead to gaining credit towards qualifications without needing to complete the usual coursework. RPL helps streamline the path to certification by valuing practical experience and reducing the time and cost required to achieve a qualification.
RPL Duration
1 month. The RPL process has been structured to be completed within 30 days providing the candidate can provide all the necessary supporting evidence within the specified time period.
