FAQ
RPL is a process that allows you to use your previous work experience, skills, and knowledge to gain formal qualifications. If you have adequate experience working in community services, RPL can help you get certified without needing to go back to school for formal study.
To be eligible for RPL, you typically need at least 12 months of relevant full-time work experience in the community services sector. Casual or part-time experience can also count if it adds up to the equivalent of 12 months full-time.
The time to complete your RPL process varies depending on how quickly you can gather your evidence and submit it for assessment. However, our streamlined process is designed to help you gain certification as quickly as possible, often within a few weeks.
You’ll need to submit a variety of evidence from your work experience, such as employment records, references and any other documents that showcase your skills. Our team will guide you through gathering the right documents.
The cost of RPL certification varies depending on the qualification you’re applying for. However, it is generally more affordable and faster than traditional study pathways. Contact us to discuss fees and payment plans that work for you.
