Time and Cost Efficiency:
By pursuing RPL, you may be able to complete your certification faster and at a lower cost compared to starting from scratch. This is because you don't need to relearn or retrain in areas where you are already competent.
Career Advancement:
Having a formal qualification can open up career opportunities that may not be available without it. It can help you advance within your current organisation or seek better positions elsewhere.
Industry Recognition:
Employers often value formal qualifications obtained through RPL, as it demonstrates your commitment to professional development and your ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings.
