Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions we get asked and also the answer to themWHAT IS RPL ?
This is an assessment which you can use to recognise your skills, knowledge as well as your experience gained throughout you work life. Which includes any training courses and or work based training that you may have received. This is then assessed against all of the evidence requirements the required units of competency, for the course you may like to enrol for.
I CURRENTLY WORK IN THE INDUSTRY AND HAVE A CRAFT CERTIFICATE, HOWEVER I DIDN’T FINISH TAFE, CAN I ENROL ?
In the above case the RPL process may be of benefit to you. By which any previous qualifications you have are judged to determine if you have previous course credits and to evaluate your actual skill level and knowledge. We will sit down with you evaluate your eligibility for the course, have you submit the required evidence. After this you will need to gather any other supporting evidence which needs to be assessed. We will assess all of your documentation including a discussion on each item of course content to identify if you require any “Gap Training” to bring your skills up the required standard. Upon completion of this, you may be required to then sit a capstone test dependant on the qualification. Upon successful completion of this you will then receive your Nationally Recognised Qualification.
