RPL Overview For Assessors

Sa

m

pl e

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the process of evaluating and acknowledging a person’s skills and knowledge to perform a particular job role related a unit of competency or a qualification. Skills and knowledge are gained through a range of work, life, formal and informal learning experiences. This kit contains tools to help customise the recognition assessment of the candidate’s knowledge and skills for this qualification. Assessors are not required to use every tool. Only use the tools necessary to holistically assess the candidate. After an initial interview with a potential candidate, you will need to determine whether or not they are able to complete the RPL process. Using this RPL kit, you will be able to determine if a candidate earns the qualification based on: § Evidence they provide § Questions they answer via a competency conversation § Tasks they complete in the workplace § Your observations You are responsible for ensuring they have demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to: § Implement policies and guidelines of the employing organisation § Work largely self-­‐directed with fairly autonomous decision-­‐making capacity under the indirect supervision of a manager.

These competency questions are used to facilitate a conversation with the candidate in order to gather further evidence of their competency. Each question covers knowledge evidence and performance criteria from a specific unit of competency. After considering all of the collected evidence, ask only the questions for units of competency where sufficient evidence has not yet been provided. Streamline the process by asking relevant questions while observing relevant tasks, when possible. Refer to the Question Bank to help you plan your conversation. Key points have been provided for assessors to prompt candidates, when necessary. They are not exhaustive or compulsory responses; they are provided as a guide. Look for information the candidate omits and ask them to elaborate, when necessary. Add relevant key points provided by the candidate. Note: where legislation, policies and procedures are mentioned, candidates must provide specific examples related to their state/territory and organisation. Only generic examples have been provided.

Assessors: Use the box at the end of the key points to record details of the conversation and any contextualisation.

Workplace Tasks CHC40413 Certificate IV in Youth Work

The workplace tasks are used to gather further evidence of a candidate’s competency. Each task covers performance criteria and performance evidence from a specific unit of competency. After considering all of the collected evidence, assessors will assign only the tasks for units of competency where sufficient evidence has not yet been provided. Assessors can streamline the process by asking relevant questions while observing relevant tasks, where possible. Assessors will observe candidates completing these tasks in the workplace, or in a simulated workplace under the normal range of workplace conditions. Often, there are components of the task candidates must complete prior to observation. Some tasks require demonstration on more than one occasion. Candidates should read through all assigned tasks before beginning, as some tasks may be completed together.

Sa

Assessors: Use the box at the end of each task to record details of adjustments and modifications.
