Did you know your experience overseas could help you gain an Australian qualification—without needing to go back to study? It’s possible through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), a powerful tool that helps skilled migrants fast-track their careers.
What Is RPL?
RPL is a formal assessment process that evaluates your existing work experience, skills, and knowledge and matches them to a nationally recognised Australian qualification. It’s widely used in trades, business, IT, and community services.
Who Can Apply for RPL?
- Skilled workers with 3+ years’ experience
- Applicants with informal training (on-the-job learning)
- Migrants wanting to meet visa or job requirements in Australia
Common Qualifications Obtained via RPL
- Certificate III in Commercial Cookery
- Certificate III/IV in Carpentry or Painting
- Diploma of Business or Leadership & Management
- Certificate III in Individual Support (Aged Care)
Why RPL Matters for Migration
Many skilled visas, including subclass 482 and 190, require qualifications aligned with Australian standards. RPL helps you:
- Meet eligibility for migration
- Increase employability
- Skip formal study (saving time and money)
