Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About RPL Certification

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that evaluates your existing skills, work experience, and knowledge to determine if they meet current industry standards. Instead of studying the full course, you can obtain a nationally recognised qualification based on what you already know.

Anyone with relevant work experience, overseas qualifications, on-the-job training, or informal learning may be eligible. It is ideal for tradespeople, construction workers, hospitality workers, community service workers, and professionals who have built skills over time.

We assist with a wide range of qualifications across industries such as construction, trades, business, community services, training & assessment, and more. The exact options depend on your background and experience.

The process generally takes 2–4 weeks, depending on how quickly you can provide your evidence. KMH Training & Consultancy Australia works closely with you to speed up the process and minimise delays.
