RPL in electrotechnology and energy

21 qualifications, 19 ready today, and what assessors in this industry actually accept as evidence.

Electrotechnology and energy accounts for 21 nationally recognised qualifications on the register. 19 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 electrotechnology and energy

Be careful here, and be sceptical of anyone who is not. Electrical work is licensed and the pathway to a licence is tightly controlled — in most states it runs through an apprenticeship and a capstone assessment, and Recognition of Prior Learning does not substitute for either. RPL can have a real role in recognising units you have already covered, but nobody can sell you a route around a licensing regime.

If someone tells you a portfolio will get you an electrical licence, that is the point to walk away. Talk to your state's electrical regulator first, and let their answer decide whether RPL is worth your money.
