RPL Certification FAQ
Q

The certificate is issued by our partner, a legitimate Australian Registered Training Organisation (RTO). All partner institutions are approved by the Australian government, and the certificates issued are authentic, valid, and widely recognized throughout Australia.

Q
Is it legal to obtain a qualification through RPL?
RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) is a legitimate pathway within the Australian education system, suitable for applicants who have practical work experience but lack formal qualifications. Through a professional assessment that confirms the applicant has mastered the relevant skills, they can be awarded a corresponding qualification certificate, which has the same validity as one obtained by completing a course of study.
AA
Q
When applying for RPL, how do I prove I have the relevant experience?
Applicants need to provide materials related to their work experience, such as: on-site work photos, videos, letters of recommendation, resume, etc. If you have had any relevant training or qualifications, you can provide those as well. The institution will comprehensively assess these materials to ensure the applicant meets the certificate requirements.
AA
Q
What happens if the certificate cannot be successfully issued after payment?
Before the formal submission, we will conduct a preliminary assessment of the application materials to ensure they meet the RPL requirements before proceeding. In the rare case that a certificate cannot be issued due to special circumstances, we will provide a full refund of the relevant fees, ensuring peace of mind for the applicant.

Q
Can a qualification certificate obtained through RPL be used for a migration skills assessment?
Yes. Certificates obtained through RPL are issued by legitimate Australian RTOs and have the same validity as those obtained through traditional study pathways, making them usable for migration skills assessments. Compared to spending years completing a full-time course, RPL is more suitable for experienced applicants who wish to quickly obtain a qualification to submit their migration application sooner, which is particularly advantageous in the current climate of frequent policy changes.
