Skills Victoria

Skills Stores can assist

When you visit a Skills Store you’ll get friendly, free expert advice about how your current skills and experience can count towards a new qualification.

You may have gained relevant skills through:

• Paid or unpaid work experience
• On the job training
• Informal learning
• Community or voluntary work
• Hobbies, sport and leisure activities

The Skills Store will provide you with a personal referral to a registered training organisation as well as a skills profile so that you can have your skills formally acknowledged through a recognition of prior learning assessment.  This will cut down the time you spend training and means that you’re not repeating training for the skills that you already have. 

I got my ‘piece of paper’ with help from a Skills Store

Read about other people’s recognition of prior learning journey via the Skills Stores.

• Read about Steve's experience - his Certificate III was upgraded to a Certificate IV.
• Read about Vince's experience - a mature-age client who had worked in the bakery industry for many years with no formal qualification.
