“The ease of which I could provide documents and evidence for my RPL request. It was simple and straight forward. I requested RPL for two diplomas – things that I have been doing during my day-to-day for many years during and since leaving Defence. Aimpoint was able to legitimise my experience and knowledge by providing the qualification and recognition of my skills. I would happily recommend Aimpoint to others, veterans or non-veterans.”

Saskia Davidson
Aimpoint Graduate
“I recently enquired about gaining some Recognition of Prior learning after a five year absence from The ADF. At every stage the team at Aimpoint were prompt with replies to my enquiries and once started I was totally supported in every step in the process with online help and face to face with one on one assistance. I would not hesitate to recommend Aimpoint Education to anyone transitioning out of the ADF for RPL certification.”
