Offering RPL opportunities to current and former Police Officers in Australia

As a respected RTO (RTO#41084), Westbourne College specialises in recognition of prior learning or RPL. Our goal is to help people who have gained skills from jobs, emergency services or military experience get the certifications they deserve for those skills. Among other things, we focus on offering police RPL opportunities.

Why We Do Police RPL

At Westbourne, we have always said that no one truly recognises the level of skill and knowledge that Police officers acquire after years of dedicated service. Indeed, police officers attain considerable knowledge, skill and experience in leadership, risk management, security, occupational health and safety, investigations, and more.

One of the reasons we started Westbourne College was to provide an opportunity for Police Officers to show case those skills. This company has been built by ex-police personnel, our business wanted to help current serving and former officers get the credit they deserve for all the learning and skill building that your years of training and experience provides. Employers really do not have any real idea of all the skills that police officers can bring to the private sector. Also many officers don’t recognise, or can’t contextualise their skills either. Our goal was to bring recognition to the forefront with high-quality  RPL opportunities for current and former police personnel.

Recognition of prior learning makes it possible for experienced police personnel to take these skills and apply them to other careers and opportunities.

If you desire to get out of the policing field and into something else, then harnessing the skills you gained as a Police Officer is likely your best bet at finding a challenging, fulfilling and high paying career. The idea of police RPL is that if those skills are already there, you should use them.
