Technical Qualifications and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
A formal technical qualification could consist of any of the following:
A completed apprenticeship
Successful completion of the appropriate course for this licence class
Successful completion of an equivalent course for the class of licence (e.g. similar modules)
A recognition certificate
A qualification of statement of attainment of the required competency issued by an approved authority for the class of licence
These types of qualifications are issued by Registered Training Organisations to persons who have successfuly completed their training.
If you do not hold a formal technical qualification you may be able to obtain this by undergoing RPL. RPL is provided by Registered Training Organisations (listed below). BSA's web page Recognition of Prior Learning provides more information about this process.
Registered Training Organisations:
Please note that the Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) listed are provided as a guide only and can be subject to change at any time. The BSA does however strive to ensure that the information contained is as accurate and up-to-date as possible and welcomes feedback from the RTOs where information should be amended or updated. Prospective licence applicants should be aware that it is common that RTOs will notify the BSA that they are delivering a qualification which aligns with a licence class and wish to be included on this website, however, RTOs do not always notify the BSA when they have discontinued delivery of a qualification and therefore should be removed from the website.
Prospective licence applicants should also note that RTOs often choose to offer more than one type of delivery and training and assessment. For example, they could decide to deliver all modes (on-campus/face-to-face/lecture style of delivery, electronic/online/web delivery, Recognition of Prior Learning(RPL) or Upskilling/Gap training). Delivery could be via one mode only, or a combination of all and RTOs will often change their delivery modes depending on demand. The BSA therefore recommends that interested persons make their own enquiries to see if an RTO is delivering the qualification they seek, the cost, duration and the mode of delivery, in order to make the decision of which option suits them best.
