Turn Your Child Care or Community Services Experience into a Recognised Qualification
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Made Easy with WIDEN Migration Experts
If you’ve been working in child care, community services, or disability support, chances are you’ve already developed a wealth of practical knowledge. But without a formal qualification, your skills may not be fully recognised—especially when it comes to career progression, compliance, or migration pathways.
At WIDEN Migration Experts, we help experienced professionals convert their hands-on experience into nationally recognised qualifications through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Choose your course
RPL, or Recognition of Prior Learning, allows individuals in Early Childhood Education and Care to get formally recognized for their existing skills and experience. It can lead to a Certificate III or Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care without needing to repeat courses if your skills match national competency standards.
Who Can Benefit from RPL?
RPL is ideal for people who have:
-
Worked in early childhood education, community care, disability services, or aged care
-
Gained substantial on-the-job experience but never obtained formal credentials
-
Held roles such as child care worker, support worker, case manager, or carer
-
Managed or supervised teams or provided training and mentoring to others
-
Overseas qualifications or training that need recognition in Australia
Who Is Eligible for RPL in IT?
You may be eligible if you’ve worked in any of the following areas:
-
Technical Support or Helpdesk
-
IT Systems or Network Administration
-
Web or Software Development
-
Cybersecurity
-
Database Management
-
IT Project Management or Strategy
You don’t need formal study—just relevant on-the-job experience, freelance work, or self-taught skills.
What Evidence Will You Need?
To complete an RPL assessment, you’ll need to provide documents that show what you’ve learned and achieved on the job. This may include:
-
Resume and job descriptions
-
Payslips or work contracts
-
Reference letters from employers or supervisors
-
Photos or videos of your work environment
-
Case notes or activity plans
-
Training certificates
-
Program outlines or lesson plans (for early childhood educators)
-
Behaviour reports or care plans (for support workers)
Don’t worry—WIDEN will guide you step-by-step to ensure you know exactly what to provide.
