Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) - Flexibility

Flexibility in RPL Assessment

Recognition of Prior Learning and skills recognition offers flexibility in the methods of assessment and types of evidence that can be submitted to verify and achieve competency. Rather than conducting a formal assessment, such as exams or assignments  for completing a training course, RPL allows for submission of various forms of evidence to support the application to acheive a Nationally Recognised Qualification.

It is critical that evidence submitted relates to the Units of Competency for the Qualification. Always refer to the Elements and Performance Criteria contained within each Unit of Competency in the Training Package.

Check out one of our tutorials on how to search for Training Package Information.

Evidence can be work based documentation that the Applicant has prepared or uses in the workplace, completed examples of their work, recorded evidence such as photos, video or audio, or even online  e-portfolios. There is no restriction on types of evidence, but is must be valid, accurate, current and sufficient to establish your competency.

Applicant Commitments to Work and Business

Get Qualified Australia understands that Applicants have commitments to work and business and this will always be considered as the first priority while you are undertaking the Assessment process.

We know that you have commitments to work based deadlines and that you may have considerable workplace pressures and responsibilities.  For this reason, the RPL Assessment process has a three (3) month timeframe for completion and additional extensions are available upon written application to the Head Assessor who will make a determination if this is fair.  If additional extensions are required after this initial extension period, this may incur an additional service fee.

Each Application is Unique

It is important to ensure that the RPL Assessment process has a focus on flexibility and adapting each assessment to the specific circumstances of each individual Applicant. Our Assessors deal with each application on an individual basis and consideration is given to your particular career history and the workplaces you have been employed, rather than relying on a “one-method-fits” all approach.

Get Qualifed Assessors are flexible in their approach and adapt to the changing circumstances in your work and personal life.  If you have any issues that may affect your RPL Application, our Assessors will be sure to make plans to allow for any changes or delays in conducting Assessments.
