Working in concreting is more than just a job. It’s about building things that last. But how do you make sure your career is as solid as the structures you create?
With the industry experiencing sustained growth, there’s never been a better time to solidify your standing and push your career to new heights.
Skills Certified Australia is here to help. With Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), you can turn what you’ve learned on the job into official qualifications.
1. Laying the Foundation
Recognising Your Hard Work
Every day, you work with concrete to build solid and lasting structures. Your skills in mixing, pouring, and finishing are valuable. RPL sees the worth in your hard work and helps turn your experience into qualifications.
Why Certifications Matter
In the construction sector, being certified is more than just accolades. It’s the key to unlocking your career possibilities.
Formal qualifications are your passport to higher pay, faster career progression, and the freedom to delve into contracting or managerial roles.
Getting new qualifications usually takes a lot of time and money. RPL changes this by valuing your on-the-job learning and turning it into nationally recognised qualifications through our partner RTOs.
The RPL Process for Concreters
RPL might sound complex, but it’s actually pretty straightforward, especially with Skills Certified in your corner. Our process helps you prove your expertise and get ahead in your career.
We’ll start by understanding your career goals and then help you gather evidence of your existing expertise, such as references, informal training and examples of your work.
We’ll then match your on-the-job experience against the requirements for formal qualifications. If you need to beef up your skills to satisfy the criteria to achieve the certification you deserve, we’ll help you choose the right Registered Training Organisation (RTO) from our trusted partners.
