RPL, Skills Assessments & Apprenticeship Pathways
Gimbal Training provide professional services that include:

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

RPL highly benefits those with experience in their relevant field but need professional qualifications to uphold their skills. Getting an RPL in Australia with Gimbal Training is an easy process! It involves collecting and organising evidence and previous documents proving your trade experience.  When paired with training to fill in the gaps in your knowledge, if required, you should receive your RPL in about three to six months.

Skills Assessment

A skill assessment is a formal evaluation process conducted by an RTO to determine if an individual’s qualifications, work experience, and skills are equivalent to the standards required for a specific occupation in Australia. They can be a part of the RPL process. Skill assessments are also essential for individuals considering migration to Australia, particularly those applying under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program or Employer Sponsored visas.

Apprenticeship Pathways

Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, providing a well-rounded education covering practical skills and theoretical knowledge. This structured approach ensures that apprentices develop a comprehensive understanding of their trade. In addition, through apprenticeships, trade professionals gain hands-on experience working under the supervision of skilled and experienced tradespeople. This practical experience allows them to hone their skills, become proficient in various techniques, and develop expertise in their chosen trade.

Trade Licences

Trade licensing is a fairly established way to regulate good standards within any industry. By proving you have the relevant skill in your field with a licence, you can give clients and employers peace of mind with a concrete way to establish your professionalism. With a governing body that holds you accountable for your work, you will ensure that every project is completed safely and diligently.  

A licence will also help you advance your career by giving you an edge over unprofessional contractors offering cheaper rates. By allowing Gimbal Training to assist you with your licence, you can ensure that you can charge the required rate, thanks to your qualifications. 

Trade licences do differ from state to state, so do the necessary research before committing to an application or apprenticeship.
