Employment, Training and Industrial Relations Minister Tom Barton said the vocational education and training system is based on the belief that skills and knowledge were not only learned in a classroom but could be acquired in many ways. "Recognition of Prior Learning is a great pathway for people who have worked in an industry for a number of years to turn their current skills into a nationally recognised certificate or diploma qualification," Mr Barton said. "Although it is not the only measure of a person's ability, receiving a qualification can make all the difference when applying for a new job or being considered for a promotion in their current line of work."
