RPL is a process that assesses your existing skills, knowledge, and experience to determine if you qualify for a nationally recognized qualification. If you have gained expertise through work, training, or even volunteering, you may be eligible for RPL certification without the need for further study.

- On-the-Job Training: Any formal or informal training provided at your workplace may be considered.
- Apprenticeships and Internships: Practical training and apprenticeships can contribute to your RPL assessment.
- Volunteer Work: If you have gained skills through unpaid work, you may still be eligible.
