What is RPL for a Diploma Qualification?

A Diploma RPL is an examination of an individual’s relevant prior learning (both formal and non-formal) to decide what Diploma level certificate you’re already qualified for without having to undergo traditional study.

Many people are unaware of how an RPL assessment might help them fast-track your way to a recognised qualification without having to take a course. It’s all made possible through the Australian Qualifications Framework who believes that on the job experience is just as conducive to learning as traditional study. To put it another way, a Diploma RPL is all about mapping the skills and knowledge you’ve obtained from your work and life experiences to the learning outcomes of our courses. Ultimately, you’ll save time and money through a Diploma RPL.

An employee who, rather than studying the unit of competency, has worked as a coffee shop barista for three years is an excellent example. Their operation of the register, interaction with the customers and working as part of a team can all contribute to obtaining a Diploma of Business. This all depends on their level of skills and experience.

What is the difference between earning a Diploma through RPL and completing traditional studies?

A Diploma Qualification Online is for individuals who are new to the trade and want to learn the ropes from the ground up, whilst a Diploma RPL is for those who have already gained experience. A Diploma in Business achieved through Online study typically takes 1–3 years, according to the Australian Qualifications Framework. The identical qualification via RPL could be completed in a matter of weeks, depending on your level of expertise and the evidence collection method.

You won’t need to repeat training
One of the best things about a Diploma RPL is the savings in both time and cost. It eliminates the need for you to attend courses or train in areas where you already have experience. As part of the RPL process, you must submit evidence to verify your skills and expertise. 3CIR will then compare your experience to the course units in the qualification you’re pursuing. This can take the form of a CV, job descriptions, performance appraisals etc.

Increase your career prospects
Once you’ve received your Diploma, your job prospects will surely improve. While a qualification will not guarantee you a job, it will enhance your options and give you the confidence to apply for a larger range of jobs. Diploma RPLs make it easier to get your abilities recognised, so you can spend less time learning and more time networking and looking for work. Earn more money.

There are several factors that influence your career selection, but one of the most important is money. A Diploma RPL may be able to help you gain the qualifications you need if you want to change careers or find a better paying job. While experience and ability are important in acquiring high-paying jobs, formal qualifications boost your potential!

Improves your CV
There is plenty of competition when looking for work, so anything you can do to stand out of the crowd helps. While you may have plenty of Diploma level skills, if you don’t have the qualification listed on your CV, your employer cannot verify your expertise. A Diploma RPL eliminates this issue and saves you time in the process.

To gain entry into a higher level qualification
A Diploma RPL can help you progress in your studies and potentially save time if you’re looking to pursue a bachelor level qualification. This is become some of the learning outcomes may match initial courses of the bachelor’s program. If you have already completed then, you could receive course credits and ultimately save you time. Alternatively, it could also help you gain admission into further study as diploma level prerequisites are met.
