How do I get certified?

Through our extensive partner network of registered training organisations (RTOs) Skills Certified Australia can convert your experience, skills, knowledge or overseas qualifications into a nationally recognised Australian qualification. Your RPL assessment process can often be completed using existing evidence of your skills. Depending on your level of skills and experience, you may not even be required to take on any additional study.

How do I check if I am eligible for RPL?

Your eligibility will depend on several components, including the industry you work in, the type of qualification you’re seeking, and the formal and informal learning you’ve already attained. You can assess your eligibility by taking our free 60 second skills check.

A Registered Training Organisation develops and implements strategies for training and assessment that take into account an individual’s skills and experience. They are responsible for issuing qualifications after carefully assessing individuals’ portfolios of evidence.

How do I pick the best certification for me?

The best way to decide which certification to pursue is to research the industry you work in, look at what the requirements of your dream job are, and what qualifications you need to be suitable for that role. If you’re unsure, Skills Certified Australia can guide you towards the qualification that will help you reach them.

At what point in my career can RPL help?

If you’re feeling stuck in your career, or if you’re not sure what the next step should be, formalising your skills with Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can help you get ahead of the competition.

RPL is a process that allows you to receive credit for skills and knowledge that you have acquired outside of formal education settings. This can include on-the-job training, volunteer work, life experience, and more.

RPL can help you reach your career goals by

Giving you credit for the skills and knowledge you already have
Saving you time and money by bypassing traditional education routes
Allowing you to continue learning and advancing in your career

Looking to get a promotion?

If you’re looking to advance in your career or get promoted, RPL can help you by giving you the credit you need to achieve your goals. By receiving credit for the skills and knowledge you have already acquired, you will be able to move forward in your career without having to start from the beginning. RPL can also help you save time and money by allowing you to bypass traditional education routes.

Do you want to change careers?

If you’re looking to change careers, RPL can help you by giving you credit for the skills and knowledge you have already acquired. Certification can open the door to a whole range of opportunities outside your industry. For example, obtaining a business qualification based on skills you picked up in the construction industry, could help you get recognition when applying for a job in property development.

Am I too old to get RPL?

You are never too old to pursue RPL. RPL is designed to help people of all ages reach their career goals. Whether you are just starting out in your career or you are looking to make a change later in life, RPL can help you get the credit you need to continue learning and advancing.
