Turn your existing skills, workplace experience, and industry knowledge into a nationally recognised qualification through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Care Connect Training Institute helps experienced workers gain formal qualifications without repeating skills they already demonstrate in the workplace.
Whether you work in Aged Care, Disability Support, Individual Support, or Community Services, RPL can help you achieve a recognised qualification faster.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you have gained through work, volunteering, professional development, or previous training.
RPL allows eligible candidates to receive credit toward a nationally recognised qualification based on evidence of competency.
Instead of completing units you already know, RPL recognises your existing capabilities against qualification requirements.
