Having one of those days, weeks, years?
Nov 27, 2023
Last week was totally shite…Why?
The week started with my husband playing a little friendly basketball. Five minutes in and he’d dislocated his finger. When I say dislocated, I mean the top part of his finger disconnected from the bottom part altogether.
For anyone who loves a good X-Ray image I've slipped his into the P.S...scroll down if you dare!
It stands for Recognition of Prior Learning, it’s a process of turning your skills, knowledge and experience into nationally recognised qualifications.
When I was in my mid twenties I gained a Certificate IV in Business and a Diploma of Management through RPL at Victoria University.
You know how long it took me? A couple of hours. And it drastically opened doors for me.
Primarily because it gave me the confidence to apply for jobs that were previously “out of my reach”, but also because I dreaded answering the question… do you have any relevant qualifications?
Being awarded qualifications through RPL means that you don’t have to study what you already know. Instead, you can literally convert your experience into qualifications.
So, where do you start?
There are quite a few companies that do it, but I’ve worked with organisations like Churchill Education who provide a stack of qualifications based on experience.
I don’t want you to be held back by qualifications, and I want your career to flourish - so check them out (let them know Em Pescott sent you!) and get those jobs you always dreamed of.
