A KMH consultant will call you within one business day to walk through your free assessment.
If you've built real skills through years of work in Canberra or elsewhere in the ACT but don't hold an Australian qualification to show for it, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the fastest legitimate pathway to get recognised. RPL certification in ACT lets you use your existing experience, employment history and industry knowledge to work towards a nationally recognised qualification without repeating study you've already mastered on the job.

RPL certification in ACT is a skills assessment process that allows you to gain a nationally recognised qualification based on your existing work experience. Instead of studying, you provide evidence that proves you already have the required competencies.
Anyone with relevant work experience—usually 6 to 12 months or more—may qualify for RPL. This includes tradespeople, migrants, supervisors, contractors, and workers who learned their skills on the job.
Most RPL assessments in ACT take 2–6 weeks, depending on how quickly you can provide your evidence and how complex the qualification is.
You can submit a variety of evidence such as:
Work photos or videos
Job descriptions
References
Resumes
Payslips or invoices
Project records
Certificates from overseas
Your assessor will help you gather everything you need.

Yes. RPL leads to the same qualification as completing a course. The only difference is how you achieve it—through experience instead of formal study.
