Have your existing skills certified with Recognition of Prior Learning

Throughout your life and professional career, you’ll learn a number of key skills without receiving any certification or formal acknowledgement of this useful knowledge. Many of these skills, if formalised, could make you a much more marketable professional and help improve your opportunities while looking for employment. This is where Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can help. It is a process that assesses your existing skills in your personal and professional life to see if they match the learning outcomes of any nationally accredited qualification. If they do, you could receive that qualification in weeks, not years depending on the documentation you provide. The RPL process is made possible through the Australian Qualifications Framework and exists to recognise all forms of learning to help those who may not have had an opportunity to undertake formalised education.

Getting an RPL certification bears several benefits for an employment seeker. This certification can help you land a job that pays well, and allows you to kickstart a career. It is a great alternative to a degree or online course certification if you aren’t eligible or can’t afford to apply for those.

At 3CIR, we offer a full range of qualification through RPL.

Our qualifications cover a range of industries including:

Benefits of RPL

Now that you know what RPL is; let's dive deeper into the benefits of this process.

It Saves Time and Money

Enrolling in traditional study can take months and years to complete before you start your new career or role. On the other hand, RPL can be completed in weeks with the right documentation. If you can prove that you have the right skills and knowledge, you will be good to go.

Compared to degrees and other online certification courses that cost thousands of dollars, and leave you with a lifelong debt, the RPL certification costs significantly less. Instead of paying tuition fees that cover teacher salaries, equipment and learning material, you only need to cover the cost of an RPL assessor, resulting in a much more affordable pathway to a nationally recognised certification.

Graduates often struggle to land their first job as they don't have much professional experience. Getting an RPL certification improves your chances of employability by proving the existence of certain skill sets that the employer is looking for.

Level Playing Field for Everyone

If you have immigrated from another country with no local qualifications, or you want to make a career switch with no prior experience or degree in the field of your interest, or if you want to start your career from scratch - an RPL certification can help you reach your goal.

With an assessment of your skills, you open yourself up to a variety of opportunities. The RPL certification makes you a stronger candidate for a variety of roles that you may be interested in. It helps level the playing field for candidates who might be at a disadvantage otherwise.

    Frequently asked questions Courses

    What’s better, RPL or studying online?

    What is online study, and how does it work?3CIR provides several qualifications through self-paced study. You’ll be able to complete your units and projects at your own pace, with the option for catch-ups if needed with instructors who are always available by email or phone during business hours (although this isn’t required). The great thing about doing 3CIR’s online training program is that you’re not held to any specific timeline – just make sure all work has been submitted before closing out each unit!

    If you have a hectic life and work schedule, this online course is perfect for balancing your studies with the other essential aspects in mind. Not only will it be able to finish quicker because of how flexible they are but it also allows more time each week, which means less stress when going back to classroom material later on down below!

    Pros and Cons of RPL

    The best thing about RPL is that it can be a quick and easy process. Usually, you only need weeks or months to complete all the paperwork and get your qualification – which means saving money!

    One con, though? It may take longer than online study because finding evidence for everything yourself might sometimes be complex (though not impossible!). To participate in RPL, you must share information about your work tasks with third parties. And if there isn’t enough evidence for some units through the process of fulfilling requirements (i e., completing them), students should try filling those gaps by studying full time instead!

    Pros and Cons of Online Study

    When you complete the entire qualification through online self-paced study, even if you have some experience in your field of interest it can be beneficial. Often what we do out on site might not always follow best practices taught to us for practice and this means getting an understanding about all aspects, including methods they recommend doing something differently than how one would typically go about things while working within their environment or industry-specific topic area(s).

    So, what’s the best way to study for your test? Well, there are two options. One is full-time and the other RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning). The good thing about this option is that you can complete a course at once because it’s cheaper than doing each task or lesson individually, which may be frustrating if we know exactly where our strengths lie – like remembering things quickly! However, sometimes payment isn’t an issue; then again, some people prefer paying upfront while others would rather have access over time without having paid everything up front already…

    What study methods are available to me?

    3CIR provides 4 options to meet your education needs best.

    OPTION 1 – Study Online

    Enjoy the freedom of completing your education wherever you are, when and how it suits you best. You will have access to our interactive eLearning platform, Cloud Assess, which allows for self-paced learning. The program provides all the reading materials required for each unit as well as assessment activities that can be done on demand at any time! Whether you’re working for time or have the opportunity to focus on study, online learning is a great flexible option.

    OPTION 2 – Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

    If you have skills and experience relevant to your chosen qualification, then it’s worth submitting a Free RPL Assessment Form. If your current knowledge matches up with the learning outcomes of your course, you could obtain a qualification in weeks, not months and for much cheaper! Find out more about our RPL service.

    What is RPL?

    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a simple process that converts your existing skills, knowledge and experience into nationally recognised qualifications. There is more than one way for you to get into the career of choice despite not having formal education requirements; this includes informal learning like life experiences as well work or training towards it!

    Learners can now achieve their career goals and educational aspirations at the same time. RPL is a new way for people without traditional qualifications or those looking to supplement what they already know, with an array of courses available in many different areas like business management & leadership skills, health sciences such as nursing theory exams, preparation coursework on anatomy physiology psychology etcetera! You may also want to consider studying further education/skills development sector, which will help prepare you better should your chosen profession require it
