What is RPL certification
RPL stands for Recognition of Prior Learning. It is a way of career assessment for applicants who do not have relevant academic qualifications but have many years of work experience. The career assessment agency for skilled immigrants in Australia will assess the applicant's work experience and ability to determine whether he or she meets the career assessment standards for skilled immigrants in Australia.

Suitable people for RPL certification
RPL certification is mainly for applicants who do not have formal academic qualifications or cannot prove their professional background. Therefore, RPL is more suitable for applicants whose academic qualifications obtained abroad are not recognized in Australia, or who have no relevant academic background but have certain work experience and skills.
Areas where RPL can help include:
- 1There is an opportunity for employer-sponsored immigration, but the major studied in the past is not related to the sponsored position;
- 2Want to start your own business, but don’t have the relevant qualifications to obtain a business license;
- 3Have extensive work experience and want to work in Australia, but lack Australian qualifications;
- 4When applying to university, I want to reduce credits and shorten the course time, but I don’t want to attend classes and do homework.
Assessment requirements for RPL certification
The assessment requirements for RPL are still very strict. In addition to complying with the regulations of the Australian Immigration Department, applicants must also meet the following conditions:
- 1Proof of 5 or more years of work experience, education, or other qualifications relevant to the job being requested;
- 2Provide an application that details your skills;
- 3Provide supporting documents to support the application, such as personal recommendation letters, educational background and other professional qualification documents;
- 4Provide personal work achievements, such as portfolio, best practices or other supporting documents.
Application process for RPL certification
The application process of RPL is relatively simple. Applicants only need to carefully read and understand the requirements of the Australian Immigration Department before submitting the materials, prepare the RPL application form and provide corresponding supporting materials to support the content of the application form. However, there is one thing that needs special attention, that is, applicants must confirm that all the supporting materials provided are true and valid, because any supporting materials found to contain false content will be rejected from entering the immigration assessment system.
- 1Carefully read and understand the requirements of the Australian Immigration Department
- 2Prepare an RPL application (describe personal skills, experience, etc.)
- 3Provide supporting materials (authentic and valid)
Therefore, for most people, the RPL skills assessment is a very important tool that can help international students better integrate into the Australian job market. Through the RPL skills assessment, international students can prove that they have relevant professional skills and knowledge, which can not only increase their chances of obtaining a work visa, but also enhance their value in the eyes of Australian employers, killing two birds with one stone.
