1. RPL demonstrates your knowledge

A simple and effective way to prepare to your new job search is to have your experience formally acknowledged. RPL (recognition of Prior Learning) looks at your career history and converts your unique experience into nationally recognised qualifications. You’ll have verifiable evidence of your skills and knowledge when applying for new roles and stand out against the competition.

2. Keep your skills current with RPL

Obtaining a qualification through RPL has the same weight as a qualification obtained through traditional study. Because of this, you’ll be able to explore further education to keep your skills up to date. A diploma level qualification may shorten required study for a bachelor’s degree. So having your experience converted into qualifications can save you in time and money when exploring future upskilling opportunities.

3. Improve your online presence

It should go without saying that you should keep your resume up to date when it comes to jobs. Recruiters, on the other hand, aren't just looking at your resume. If they're interested in you, particularly at a higher level, you can bet they'll look you up on the internet. So, when it comes to putting the best foot forward, make sure your online presence is still in good shape.

LinkedIn is perhaps the most critical site to concentrated on. Ensure your profile is up to date with your most current knowledge, experience, and, most importantly, credentials!

4. Demonstrate your versatility

Recognition of Prior learning allows you to have skills and experience accredited that you might not have considered otherwise. If you’ve been working within office administration for a number of years, then transitioned to project management, your job history might indicate some of your skills, but a Certificate IV in business (obtained through RPL) alongside your job experience will enhance your resume and provide evidence of your versatility in the workplace.

5. Start looking for work sooner

Examine the requirements for the positions you want to apply. Do you possess the required skills and experience? Do you, above all, hold the necessary qualifications? If you already have relevant experience in the industry but no piece of paper, RPL is perfect for you! You can have your qualification in weeks not years depending on the evidence you provide. With such a quick turnaround, you can start applying for roles sooner.
