Free Skills Assessment – Find Out If RPL Is Right for You
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a way to have your existing skills and experience assessed towards a nationally recognised qualification. It can save you time and money, but RPL is not the right pathway for everyone.
Our Free Skills Assessment — sometimes called an RPL suitability check — is the first step in finding out whether RPL might be an option for you. This is a guide only and does not guarantee an RPL outcome. If you continue after this step, you will need to provide detailed evidence and complete the full assessment process.
Start with a Free Skills Assessment to find out if RPL may be right for you.
