Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning

Achievement Education acknowledges the fact that skills, knowledge, and formal education do not only arise from classroom learning. There are a number of individuals who possess certain expertise gained through years of practice and/or training. RPL helps in gaining recognition and translating your actual expertise into national qualifications within Australia.

RPL is a program for individuals who have some experience in the profession but have no formal qualifications. Under this program, your knowledge and/or learning will be assessed against the qualification criteria of Australia. This allows those who qualify to gain certifications and not have to repeat what they already know through their practical experience.

RPL allows you to get formal recognition of the abilities you possess, regardless of whether you worked in construction or hospitality, information technologies, business, aged services, automotives, community, childcare, or other industries. It could help to get better job opportunities, make your migration profiles stronger, facilitate career development, and even further your studies.

Why Apply for RPL at RPL?

What are some of the advantages of the Recognition of Prior Learning? The application for RPL allows you to qualify quickly, using the practical experience you have gathered in place of studying things you already know for years.

There are various benefits of applying for RPL.

  • Qualification in a quick manner
  • Shortening the study period
  • Better career options for you
  • Improving migration pathways
  • Formal recognition of foreign education
  • Professional credibility is increased
  • Without starting from scratch, one can improve one's career path.

RPL provides an opportunity for professionals with international experience to formally validate their industrial skills based on Australian standards.

How Does RPL Work?

In general, there are certain important steps involved in the RPL procedure, in which you will be able to evaluate your experience and knowledge level.

Consultation

Consultation involves evaluation of your academic record and work experience. Career goals are also discussed. It helps to determine your best qualification pathway.

Evidence Collection

You must then provide evidence to prove your skills and experiences. They may include the following:

  • Update your resume or CV
  • Employment reference letters
  • Work portfolios
  • If you have a contract or a payslip, it is important to keep track of this.
  • Photos or videos illustrating work
  • Certificates & transcripts
  • Job descriptions
  • Licenses and other professional documents

The easier the process of assessment becomes, the more solid and organized your evidence.

Assessment and Mapping

Your evidence will be checked by skilled assessors against the required standards for a particular qualification. Your knowledge and skills will be accurately measured to meet the Australian industry requirements.

Results and Certification

In case the experience you have matches the requirements of the qualification, you may be awarded a nationally recognized certificate of some degree, accompanied by information regarding additional training that must be completed.

Among the common fields are: Information Technology, Business and Management, Hospitality, Commercial Cookery, Community Services, Babysitting, Aged Care, Construction, Automotive Engineering, Telecommunications, Civil Construction, Hair and Beauty, and Leadership and Management.
