Recognition of Prior Learning.
The door your field years opened for you.

Most safety supervisors hit a ceiling they cannot break with experience alone. The shift leaders they worked under retire. New hires with formal degrees move past them. The next role asks for a qualification their CV does not hold.

RPL changes the equation. Recognition of Prior Learning is a government-backed admission pathway under PMKVY (Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana). It recognises field experience as the equivalent of a formal qualification for admission purposes.

If you are an Indian national aged 18 to 45 with real experience in industrial safety, EHS, construction safety, or a related field, you may qualify for AVDIS admission without a Bachelor's degree. Over 47 lakh professionals across India have been RPL-certified so far.

The IFEM admissions team, running on IFE's institutional backbone, handles the full RPL process for you: counselling, orientation, assessment, and enrolment. Your years on the job become your entry credential.

Where AVDIS graduates land.

AVDIS runs on the RPL ON-RAMP.

RPL ON-RAMP

The programme is written for people who have been doing the work, not people learning it for the first time. Every module assumes field literacy and pushes you into structured practice: audit methodology, legal framing, incident documentation, corrective action loops. Structured delivery means you complete it around your shift pattern, not against it.

Is AVDIS for you?

This is for you if

  • You are a working safety supervisor with field experience who needs a formal NSQF 7 credential.
  • You are a construction site safety lead who wants to move into site safety officer roles.
  • You are an EHS executive whose career has plateaued because of a missing qualification.

This is not for you if

  • You are a fresh Class 12 student. Start at VDFSM or BVFSHM.
  • You are a graduate targeting Level 8 senior roles. Move directly to PGVDISM.
