In 2005 Skilling Solutions Queensland established four customer service centres in Logan City and South Brisbane. In addition three regional customer service centres were opened in Townsville, Rockhampton and Mackay in June 2006.
Are my previous skills and experiences valuable?
Yes. A process called recognition of prior learning could formally recognise your skills and knowledge.
The process could suit you if you have work skills and knowledge, paid or unpaid work experience, life experience or community work experience. It is a way for your current skills and knowledge to be assessed by a registered training organisation to see if they meet today's industry standards.
Recognition of prior learning could provide you with a full or part qualification. It could also be used to identify what training you may need to complete a qualification.
