A Quality Learning Experience, We Strive to Create
RECOGNISED PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the formal recognition of an applicant’s knowledge, skills and experience developed across the course of their career and training.
Experience and Qualifications are certified and issued by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), like Broadband Connect, who evaluate and assess competency based on the benchmark industry standards. This structure of learning may have been experienced in many forms, including school, training, community organisations, sport, work or recreation. It includes both formal and informal learning methods.
