About
Why RPL Is the Right Path for Experienced Tradespeople
“RPL isn’t a cheat or workaround. It’s about formally recognising the skills you’ve earned through real-world, on-site experience—every bit as valid as someone who’s spent years in a classroom.”
— Founder, Master Trades Association
Real On-Site Skills vs. Classroom Hours
Many tradespeople already have the hands-on know-how to meet the same performance criteria taught in a traditional apprenticeship. RPL simply recognises those skills.
