RPL in construction, plumbing and services
44 qualifications, 41 ready today, and what assessors in this industry actually accept as evidence.
Construction, plumbing and services accounts for 44 nationally recognised qualifications on the register. 41 of them have a guide built and ready to start today; the rest we will build on request. Recognition of Prior Learning assesses any of them on evidence of work you have already done, rather than on training you sit through.
What evidence looks like in construction, plumbing and services
Construction is the easiest industry to evidence and the easiest to get wrong. Easiest, because the work is physical and photographable and the paperwork already exists — job sheets, dockets, variations, site diaries. Easiest to get wrong, because a photo of a finished wall shows a wall, not who built it. Photograph the same job at a few stages, keep the original file dates, and get a supervisor to say specifically what you did on it.
Licensing is a separate matter from the qualification and it is a state matter. A qualification is often one input into a licence application, not the licence itself, and the licensing authority in your state sets the rest. Check with them before you assume the qualification finishes the job.
