Frequently Asked Questions
Below is a list of questions that our customers often ask us. If you need more information, don't hesitate to contact Ozlinks Education now.
The RPL is generally a faster way to an Australian qualification than completing a formal training course because it recognizes your previous work experience.
Yes. The RPL evaluation process is just as thorough as any other evaluation. But the evidence you need to show may be different from what is usually asked in a class assessment.
When the criteria for each of the subjects are met, a degree may be partially or fully accredited. For example, only completed subjects can be counted towards the qualification.
Even if your credits aren't enough to qualify, you can still receive written certification of the courses you've completed.
This will depend on the complexity of your qualification, how many subjects you apply for and how long it takes you to gather proof of work experience, collate and submit proof. Usually, the RPL process is 6 to 8 weeks from the date of application to the RPL assessment institute and also depends on your industry and qualifications.
