The advantages of using RPL

RPL helps you:

  • There is no need to learn what you already know.
  • It saves you time and tuition fees.
  • Open new career opportunities.
  • Help you achieve your career change goals in Australia.
  • Obtaining an Australian qualification takes less time.
  • You don't have to take classes or repeat the training you've already done.
  • It's a quick and easy process to get a recognized qualification in Australia.

The RPL process is done in 3 simple steps.

The RPL pathway consists of three stages and typically takes between six and eight weeks to complete from the time an applicant applies to an RPL assessment institute.

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.

Why should you consider RPL?

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.
