Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Your employees can gain recognition for the skills they gained through non-formal learning.
Our professional trainers are able to identify and assess the experience and abilities of your staff members. If their current skills are believed to meet today's industry standards, a full or part qualification may be awarded no matter how, when or where prior learning occurred.
Our trainers can also identify any further training your employees require to gain a qualification. This avoids any duplication of training, saving you time and money. It also ensures your employees have the best qualifications for today's industry.

More information
Gaining recognised qualifications is a strong motivating factor for skilled staff to remain loyal to your business. It also reduces training costs and boosts productivity. Having qualified workers is also becoming increasingly important in quality assurance for industries accessing global markets.
By having the existing skills of your employees formally recognised, your business may be able to:
-
identify current skills and gaps to target training investment
-
increase productivity and improve business reputation
-
engage a greater variety of work and expand to new markets
-
meet business objectives faster
-
gain or retain an edge over your competitors.
To help your employees gain formal qualifications, you can work with TAFE. An employee going through a recognition assessment process will need to provide evidence to an assessor that their skills meet today's industry standards.
How you can help your employees
-
allow the assessor to observe your employees at work
-
provide information about your employees' work and skills
-
allow the assessor access to relevant documentation
-
offer a reference, and encourage direct supervisors or others in the community to offer one.
For more information on how to apply, and the costs involved, talk to your local TAFE institute.
