FAQ

What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?

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.

Who is eligible for RPL?

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.

How long does the RPL process take?

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.

What kind of evidence do I need to provide?

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.

How much does it cost to get certified through RPL?

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.

Will my certification be nationally recognised?

Yes! All qualifications you receive through Impact Certify are nationally recognised across Australia, giving you the flexibility to work in any state or territory within the community services sector.

Do you offer refunds?
