Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that assesses your existing skills, knowledge and experience gained through working and learning. It can be used to gain credit towards a qualification without having to complete all the normal coursework.
Anyone who has demonstrated legitimate experience, knowledge or skills that are relevant to the course of study that they want to complete can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning and/or Recognition of Current Competency. You will need to have experience in Australia. To be successful, you need to be able to provide evidence of the skills and knowledge you have gained.
A minimum of 3 years experience is necessary for Certificate-level qualifications, and more substantive experience is required for Diploma-level qualifications. The time spent in a role is just one factor to consider when calculating eligibility for RPL – the nature of the experience is just as important. Work and life experience, volunteer work and formal and informal training can contribute to your portfolio of evidence for qualifications through RPL. Currency is also important, which is why our assessor will be reviewing evidence provided demonstrating clients have current industry skills and knowledge.
Everything is done online and over-the-phone with our qualified trainers. Which means if you can provide sufficient evidence of your industry experience or previous training, you may not need to complete any additional formal study. If required,  Gap Training can be provided.Â
RPL means that you do not have to study what you already know. Instead Everthought will assess the skills, knowledge and experience that you have gained through school, study, and life experiences. We do this by looking at:
🡆  Evidence of past work, this can be through paid or voluntary work that you have undertaken in Australia, especially within the past three years in the building and construction industry.
🡆 Past qualifications or statements of attainment.
🡆 References from current and past employment.
Please refer to our course pages and our fees and funding page for more information.Â
Simply enter your details. We’ll be in contact to walk you through the steps to get you started.
