Benefits of RPL Certification in Community Services

Get nationally recognised certification

Certifications, accreditations and other formal qualifications go a long way towards helping you succeed in your career in community services. Organisations often look for formal certifications that prove you meet relevant industry standards and licensing requirements.

Save time and money on training programs

Training programs are a great way to gain or improve the skills you need for a certain position. For example, you cannot be a counsellor without a degree in social sciences and counselling. But it’s not impossible to obtain them.

If you’ve had relevant experiences before, they can be converted into a formal community services certification with an RPL assessment.

Improve your career prospects

Employers are more likely to choose someone with the right qualifications over an applicant who only says they have an experience doing community service. With RPL, you can work towards certifications relevant to the position you’re applying for based on your past experiences.

This formal certification cements your qualification for the role, especially since RPL is a government-mandated process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know I’m eligible for RPL assessment?

Any experience qualifies as prior learning, whether that experience is formal or informal. As long as you have evidence, you can be assessed for RPL.

How does the RPL assessment process work?

The process typically involves a self-assessment of your skills, a discussion with our team, enrolment, and providing proof of your experience.

Do I need proof of prior experiences?

Yes, this is one of the most important factors in an RPL assessment. Evidence cements your prior experience and helps us assess your qualification for community services certifications.

What kinds of proof are accepted?

The types of evidence typically presented for RPL include certification, licenses, and professional memberships. Portfolio, photographs, and even diary entries are also accepted. Third party information, such as references from previous peers and employers can also be used.

Can I be assessed if my prior experience is from another country?

Yes! Whether you studied or worked in Australia or overseas, your community service experience can be assessed for RPL.

How long does the process take?

The entire process can be accomplished in a few weeks, depending on the amount of evidence you need to present and how long it will take you to gather said evidence.
