FAQ

The Answers You Need Before You Start Your Public Sector Recognition

I've worked as an investigator in a government agency without a formal qualification. Can RPL recognise that?−

Yes. If you plan, conduct and finalise investigations, gather information through interviews and apply regulatory powers, that experience can be assessed against PSP40416 Certificate IV in Government Investigations.

What is the difference between the Certificate IV and the Diploma of Government Investigations?+

The Certificate IV recognises people who conduct investigations, while PSP50416 Diploma of Government Investigations recognises people who also coordinate investigation processes and review and evaluate investigations. Your Navigator can help you work out which one matches your role.

Can regulatory compliance work count toward a government investigations qualification?+

It can. PSP40416 includes a regulatory compliance specialisation for people responsible for making sure legislation, regulations and organisational policy are followed.

How do I provide investigation files as evidence without breaching confidentiality?+

By de-identifying them first. Remove names, case numbers and any sensitive or classified details before submitting, and your Navigator will guide you on what to redact and what supervisor references can confirm instead.
