RPL, which stands for Recognition of Prior Learning, is an assessment process that evaluates an individual’s competencies acquired through formal, non-formal, and informal learning to ascertain the degree to which the individual fulfills the prerequisites outlined in the training package or VET accredited courses. This process involves utilizing one’s work experience to validate and enhance their academic credentials.
About
Roof plumbing encompasses a variety of tasks such as the installation, repair, renovation, alteration, and maintenance of guttering, downpipes, roof flashings, and metal roof coverings on any type of building or structure. It specifically pertains to work involving metal components and excludes tasks related to non-metallic tiles, slates, glass (which falls under the purview of glaziers), concrete, wood products, thatching, and malthoid or bituminous materials. Additionally, roof plumbing work can include the installation of skylights, ventilators, and the application of protective coatings to the roof, provided these tasks do not require structural modifications to the roof or its components.
