Benefits of RPL to employees

There are many benefits in having your skills recognised through the RPL process. Most importantly it provides you with the opportunity to have your non-formal learning recognised and counted towards a qualification. It will save you time in achieving this qualification as you do not have to receive training in the skills and knowledge you already have.

It also enables you to identify gaps in your knowledge and skills and therefore any learning that needs to occur to meet the requirements of a particular job role or qualification. This will encourage you to continue upgrading your skills and knowledge through structured training to help you achieve a formal qualification which, in the long term, will improve your employment opportunities.

This resource has been developed to assist you to gain recognition of the skills you have.
