See how the work you already do on site lines up with the Certificate IV in Civil Construction (Supervision), and where your experience might count. It takes about three minutes.
Ten areas the course covers. For each one, say whether you do that kind of work. Say yes or some and we'll show you what could prove it. Where you haven't kept anything, you can build the evidence through the work you're doing as part of the course.
Answer each area. Say yes or some and we'll show you what would prove it.

This is a guide, not a decision. Recognition is decided by your trainer, unit by unit, on the evidence you provide.
Enrol online and your training plan is set up as part of it. Your trainer then works through what your experience covers. You have 20 days to change your mind and get your money back. The course has entry requirements, listed on the course page.

Call 1800 998 500Recognition of Prior Learning, or RPL, is a formal assessment. It recognises skills and knowledge you already have from work, life and previous training, so you're not taught and assessed on things you can already do.
At GTI, most recognition happens through a competency conversation. Your trainer talks through the work with you, against everything the unit requires, and records the conversation as evidence. It's a conversation about real work, backed by the documents that came out of it.
The conversation covers the same requirements as the written assessment. What changes is how you show them.
Why people bother with it
Most people spend four to six weeks on a unit. Where your trainer recognises your experience, that unit becomes a conversation and the documents you already have, instead of four to six weeks of written assessment.
How many units that covers is your trainer's call, one unit at a time, on the evidence you provide. This check gives you a rough estimate from what you tick, and shows you which documents to find. It isn't a decision.
This check. It asks about the kinds of work the course covers, and whether you could show proof of it.
A list of the documents worth gathering: job plans, diaries, dockets, registers, reports you already have from your job. This is the part that saves you time later.
We build the training plan as part of enrolment. It sets out the units in your qualification and the order you will work through them.
Your trainer goes through your evidence with you and decides which units suit a competency conversation and which you'll work through in the assessment, using the documents you already have where you can. That call is theirs, unit by unit, and it's made on what you can show.
A recorded interview with your trainer, planned in advance. You talk through how you do the work, and provide the workplace documents that back it up. It covers the same requirements as the written assessment.
It can show you where your experience looks strongest, exactly what evidence to gather, and a rough estimate of how many units it could cover. It can't decide that, because your trainer assesses each unit on the evidence you provide.
