Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Assessment
If you’re a police officer or emergency worker and wondering which Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) options are right for you, you’re not alone. Many indiviudals reach a point where they begin to reflect on how their valuable skills and experiences can be applied in new and fulfilling ways. Whether you’re seeking a fresh challenge, professional growth, or a better work-life balance, this is your opportunity to gain clarity, take control of your future, and explore what’s possible.
Your existing strengths, skills and experience can be formally recognised to assist you in expanding on your career. Your experience has real value, and with the right RPL’s and support, it can open doors to new opportunities.
Feeling uncertain during change is completely natural, you're not alone
If you’ve been in a particular job role for a long time and can’t return, it's natural to feel uncertain. But when it comes to changing careers, you’re in expert hands with us.
"My job was part of who I am but I can't return due to injury"
Changing careers can be daunting, especially when it's unexpected and a particular role has formed part of a person’s identity. Our goal is to reduce stress and simplify the transition process by identifying transferable skills such as leadership, decision-making, resilience and communication to discover career pathways which provide a new sense of purpose.
"I’ve spent years navigating high-pressure situations, I need something stimulating"
Through career assessment, exploration and discovery, we identify a person’s strengths and RPL options, aligning them with their work motivations and personal passions to uncover exciting new public or private career opportunities that make a difference.
"This job is all I know, I wouldn't have a clue how to find another one"
Many individuals set their sights on joining the emergency services early in life, and for some, it’s the only job they’ve ever applied for. That’s why we offer practical, one-on-one support, including professionally written resumes, tailored cover letters, job search strategies and interview preparation.
Understanding your options
Career Management Services have been working with Police and Emergency services and the College for Learning, Education and Training (CLET) for over 12 years, and we’re experts in assessing which RPLs best match your unique background. We partner with you to identify your skills, align them with relevant qualifications, and support you in gaining formal recognition that helps unlock your career potential.
Our programs are designed specifically to support current and former police officers and emergency personnel. We guide you through assessing suitable RPL pathways, exploring upskilling options such as short courses and certifications, and identifying transferable skills that align with your goals and interests.
Support that is practical and personal
Our services include comprehensive skills assessment, RPL advice and guidance, one-on-one coaching, and support with the full application process, from identifying the right qualifications to submission and attainment. Whether you’re just beginning to consider your options or are ready to take action, we offer practical, expert support every step of the way.
