You can gain a nationally recognised qualification for licensing in any state in Australia through Recognition of Current Competence.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) awards you credit toward a qualification based on your daily production or work, and your past experience and training.
It is possible to achieve parts of, or in some cases a Nationally Recognised Qualification through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Before you commence a program of study you should complete an RPL application. This saves time repeating previously achieved qualification units or parts of units.

RPL is not a test or exam, it is a process of demonstrating how your work, past experience and education meets the requirements of the qualification which you are seeking to gain.

To help us assess your eligibility for Certificate III in Investigative Services complete the form below.

An information pack on RPL / RCC will be forwarded to you on completion. Please note that any units in which you have no experience or qualifications will need to be completed.
