Obtaining the certification via the RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning)

Are you currently a domestic worker or considering becoming one? You have applied many skills every day, sometimes without even realizing it. With this experience, it might be time to promote your skills.

The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) offers the recognition you seek. Let's dispel some myths! Achieving a professional certification, specifically a qualification, is not an unattainable goal.

While committing to an RPL pathway requires a significant investment of time, it's also an opportunity to embrace a new challenge, showcase your skills, validate your practices and give a new boost to your career. Recognizing your skills means acknowledging yourself as a professional.

Testimonials

Lurdes
Personal carerCertified since 2006

Being a carer is a profession with a future, but it requires a lot of skills. Certification is essential to get certified to advance in your career and effectively market yourself to employers—gaining their trust, reassuring families, negotiating your salary, and more. It is therefore essential to be certified to progress and sell yourself to employers and to gain their trust, reassure the family, negotiate your salary, etc. Early in my career, I started attending training courses to address challenges I faced at work, like assisting people with disabilities or handling specific equipment. Obtaining certification through RPL was a natural progression in my professional development, and in 2013, I further upgraded my skills with the "Dependency Personal Carer” qualification.

Fanny
ChildminderCertified since 2019

During my first contract as a childminder, I felt underestimated by my employer, who told me: "You have no degree that proves you're skilled." Even though our work relationship was good after, this statement stuck with me. So, when I learned it was possible to get the certification with the RPL, I didn't hesitate. I felt very happy when the jury announced that I was certified. Thanks to this certification, I'm now more confident to go to job interviews. In addition to my former employers' letters of recommendation, I can now show my certification document. I'm more relaxed in my job, I progress better.
