16/02/09

RPL (Recognised Prior Learning) skills assessments are now becoming a very important part of the Australian immigration programme.

ACTS (Australian Construction Training Services) is one of the three major Australian Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) agencies in the UK and they have recently announced that they have added four new trades to their RPL programme.

Essentially, this means that applicants WITHOUT a formal qualification but 4 years or more proven work experience in one of the four following occupations can now complete an RPL and a skills assessment to achieve an AQF level 3 qualification certification. This certification then in turn enables the applicant to be ultimately granted the qualification necessary points necessary to consider an application for skilled migration to Australia (formally these applicants were ineligible).

These four new trades are as follows;

  • Diesel fitting
  • Fitting and/or turning
  • Boilermaking
  • Sheetmetal

In addition to these four new trades ACTS can also provide RPL skills assessments for the following trades;

  • Carpentry
  • Bricklaying
  • Painting
  • Tiling
  • Fitting
  • Shop Fitting
  • Joinery
  • Solid Plaster
  • Roof Plumbing
  • Concreting
  • Wall and Ceiling (Fibrous Plaster)
  • Chef
  • Cook
