Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process of giving candidates credit for skills, knowledge and previous experience gained through working and learning, either formally or informally. The credits can be used toward a vocational or full qualification, without undertaking a complete training program. 

The benefits of Recognition of Prior Learning

RPL gives you the benefit of using your past qualifications and work experience to get an industry-recognised qualification at a fraction of the cost compared to full training. 

Recognition is also faster and more efficient since you won't have to go through training in areas you already know well. Perhaps you don't have the time or the funding to complete a full program, but you have the necessary experience and knowledge? Then Recognition of Prior Learning could be the perfect option for you. It's an opportunity to advance your career with a qualification without repeating things you already know.
