Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the process by which you can achieve a nationally recognised qualification, without the need to attend classes. Simply follow our On-Site RPL kit and provide video and photographic evidence of the knowledge, skills and experience you have. Plus, our industry expert assessors review your submission and provide feedback if we require more information or clarification.

This program has been designed to formally recognise your skills in general construction work.

It also provides a pathway to progress into a Certificate III trade qualification.

Nationally recognised qualifications can benefit your opportunities in employment. Upon successful completion of this RPL program you will be awarded with a CPC20120 Certificate II in Construction.
