Pathways to Trade Recognition
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Recognition of Prior Learning is an ideal option for skilled tradespeople with experience but without formal qualifications. RPL allows you to obtain certification by documenting your work history, skills, and knowledge. At Upskilled Training Pty Ltd, our experts can guide you through the detailed documentation process, ensuring that all essential records are in order and properly presented for assessment.
Attempting RPL alone can be overwhelming due to its stringent evidence requirements. Our professionals provide support at every stage, ensuring you maximise your existing experience and receive a qualification that aligns with Australian standards.
Overseas Qualification Assessment
If you hold a trade qualification from another country, an Overseas Qualification Assessment (OQA) can convert your credentials to meet Australian standards. Upskilled Training Pty Ltd specialises in helping international tradespeople by reviewing their qualifications, highlighting any gaps, and guiding them toward bridging solutions if needed.
Our team assists with managing paperwork, aligning your experience with local requirements, and ensuring a smooth transition into the Australian workforce. The OQA process can be particularly complicated for those unfamiliar with local qualifications, and our assistance ensures nothing is overlooked.
Job-Ready Program (JRP)
Designed for recent graduates from Australian vocational programs, the Job-Ready Program offers structured experience within your trade. This pathway helps you gain practical experience and ultimately leads to recognised certification.
Upskilled Training Pty Ltd works closely with recent graduates to navigate the program, assist with job placements, and manage the program’s requirements, making the transition from training to certification much more manageable.
Practical Assessments for Licensing
Some trades require licensed qualifications, which may involve a practical assessment. Upskilled Training Pty Ltd connects you with qualified assessors who can evaluate your skills thoroughly and impartially. We provide guidance on preparing for these assessments, ensuring you are well-equipped to demonstrate your trade skills confidently.
