Military and Emergency Services RPL specialists

What is RPL?

First things first, let’s begin by understanding what RPL is. RPL stands for Recognition of Prior Learning. It is a process that assesses your previous education and existing skills to determine whether you have what it takes to fulfil a certain job role. 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. RPL is an excellent option for military and emergency service professionals who require official certification of their professional skills. It allows you to gain credibility on paper, which improves your chances of starting or progressing your journey in a career that you wish to pursue. Instead of spending years and thousands of dollars on earning a university degree, RPL offers an excellent alternative.

Benefits of RPL for Military and Emergency Personnel

Now that you know what RPL is; let's dive deeper into the benefits this certification offers for military and emergency services professionals. Keep reading below.

1.   Save Time and Money

Compared to degrees and other online certification courses that cost thousands of dollars, and leave you with a life-long debt, the RPL certification only costs a minor amount. RPL is not only beneficial for non-college graduates, but it can also make college graduates more employable. Degrees don't always prepare you to fulfill a certain role in the professional world. As a military veteran, you also likely don’t have enough time or resources to invest in a university degree that only gives you credibility on paper. 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. Enrolling in online courses or full-fledged degrees takes months and years until you can kickstart your career. On the other hand, RPL certification only takes a week at the nest. If you can prove that you have the right skill set and knowledge, you will be good to go.

2.   Get a Fair Playing Field when Applying for Jobs

If you joined the military right after high school or early in your career, then you won’t have any experience to show in terms of civilian jobs and work. However, an RPL certification allows you to leverage your military experience to qualify for a variety of roles in the field of your choice. With an assessment of your skills during RPL certification, 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.
