Turn your experience into nationally recognised qualifications.
At WIDEN, we help skilled individuals gain formal recognition for the knowledge and experience they already possess through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). If you’re a migrant, international student, or professional working in Australia, RPL can be your shortcut to achieving certified qualifications without repeating what you already know.
What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that evaluates your existing skills, knowledge, and work experience—gained either overseas or locally—and matches them to an equivalent Australian qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
Whether you’ve been working in construction, IT, accounting, aged care, hospitality, or any other industry, RPL can help you save time and money while enhancing your career prospects in Australia.
Who is RPL for?
RPL is ideal for:
-
Migrants with overseas qualifications or work experience
-
International students with hands-on industry experience
-
Tradespeople without formal Australian certification
-
Professionals seeking career advancement or visa pathways
Choose your course
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) services courses allow individuals to formally recognize and validate skills and knowledge gained through various learning experiences, such as work, life, or informal settings. These courses assess prior learning against specific qualification standards, potentially granting formal qualifications or certifications, ultimately improving employability and lifelong learning opportunities.

CHILD VISAS AND ORPHANED RELATIVE VISAS
Being separated from children or young siblings for whom you are responsible is a scary thing, and often arises through circumstances outside of your control. Knowing that you have prepared your application as best you can, and therefore giving your child or siblings the best chance of being successful at the Department or primary stage, is something you can do to take back that control and give you peace of mind. We can help with that.
