Hi, my name is Katie.

I have my cert III in children's services and have been working in the industry for about 5 years now. I have decided to start studying for my diploma but that's easier said than done because I just found out my cert III is the old one so now I have to complete a RPL first. I have some knowledge questions to answer but because its been awhile since Ive started I have no idea where to start. I basically know the answers but I am not sure how to word them- I have to make sure they are right so I can pass.I just dont know how much has changed since I studied my cert III which I completed in 2008.

Does anyone know of any good websites or books for further resources as they dont give you any workbooks or modules for the RPL.

Hey Katie, well this site is BRILLIANT! if you post the question and your answer we can all have a look at it and point you in the right direction. Im studying my cert3 too, i have the textbooks, 'Birth to Big School' by Karen Kearns and published by Pearson and 'The Big Picture' also by Karen Kearns and published by Pearson. If you look through the forum you will find topics about textbooks that can help you as well. Good luck Honey
