The information in this thread contains complete knowledge of RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) for those potential candidate who have NON-ICT Bachelors/Masters degree and 10 or more years of experience in their relevant occupation as shown in the table below:
The table above explains:
1- If you have a NON-ICT Diploma or a Higher Degree e.g Bachelors OR Masters (B.A, B.Com, M.A, M.Com, MBA etc) but you have been working as an ICT Professional in last past 10 or more years, then you can apply for an RPL assessment and you might get a positive skill assessment. In this scenario 6 years will be deducted out of your total years of experience.
Example:
You are a Master Degree Holder in Art i.e. M.A which was granted to you in 2016, yet you have been working as an ICT Professional since 2001. You hold 16 years of ICT Professional experience and a NON-ICT Masters Degree. Out of those 16 years of professional years, 6 years will be deducted, since you do not have an ICT Degree or Diploma. So your total number of experience will be 10 years, that makes you eligible for applying and hoping for a positive RPL Assessment.
2- In case you do not have any education so far and you have been working as an ICT professional from 2001 till 2016, 8 years of total 16 years will be deducted from your total number of experienced years.
