Recognising your skills for a qualification

Through life we gain knowledge and skills we take for granted. RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) recognises these skills. If you have enough of them you can get recognition for these through the Australian Qualifications Institute and be awarded a Nationally Recognised Certificate I, II or III in Business; a qualification in Accounting or Bookkeeping; or a Diploma of Business.

How does it work?

  1. Stop and think about the things you do in your job. For instance do you: Employ people, manage staff, run meetings, organise your time to manage a busy working life, arrange for things to be done, organise finances? Do you? If you answered YES to any of the above go to point 2.
  2. Understand that people studying for a qualification in business, accounting or bookkeeping
    are learning to do the things that you may already do.
  3. Ask yourself if you would like a qualification: an Australian recognised Diploma or Certificate; if YES then on to point 4.
  4. Contact AQI to arrange a talk with either Andrea or Marilyn; they will have a chat, ask you some questions and let you know whether you can get a qualification through the RPL process and what the best fit is. There is absolutely no obligation associated with this.
