Can I use previous study or work experience towards my qualification? (What is RPL?)

Yes! In many cases, you can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) towards your qualification. This process is designed to map your existing qualifications and current/prior work skills to competencies within qualifications.  This can be done at any point during your training but is most appropriate well prior to commencing any course of study.

Contact our team before you begin your training to see if you qualify for full or partial RPL. Scorpion offers a free no obligation assessment to determine potential eligibility for RPL. To commence this process simply email a copy of your Resume & existing qualifications (including all Statements of Attainments) to us for assessment. The preliminary Assessment typically involves 7-10 working days, after which we will contact you to discuss a pathway to the qualification you seek and we will confirm course fee(s) applicable.

Once the pathway is determined we will invite you to enrol, pay and complete the RPL Pack, submit documents and evidence to support your application. These will then be formally assessed against national competencies for the unit(s)/qualification(s) sought.

If you want to know more, please contact us on (08) 9358 1116.
