Recognition of Prior Learning (<strong>RPL</strong>) <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>Tool</strong> <strong>Kit</strong><br />
MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)<br />
This <strong>RPL</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>Tool</strong> <strong>Kit</strong> has been developed by the Western Australian Department of<br />
Education and Training, in consultation with industry, as a resource to assist <strong>RPL</strong> Assessors by<br />
providing a set of quality assessment tools, which can be used to conduct whole-of-qualification<br />
<strong>RPL</strong>. This kit also contains information which can be provided to the candidate.<br />
This kit should be customised to suit the needs of the candidate, employer/industry or Assessor<br />
and should reflect the purpose for which it is being used.<br />
It is recommended that prior to using this kit for the first time, and after any<br />
modifications or contextualisation, that this assessment kit be validated by the user to<br />
ensure it meets the required Australian Qualification Training Framework Standards<br />
(AQTF), relevant Training Package requirements and Registered Training Organisation<br />
(RTO) policies.<br />
A task-based model for <strong>RPL</strong><br />
A process for <strong>RPL</strong> has been developed that promotes holistic, task-based assessment, and<br />
which focuses on relating assessment activities to actual job tasks. The intention of this model is<br />
to streamline and simplify recognition processes for prospective candidates. This <strong>RPL</strong><br />
<strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>Tool</strong> <strong>Kit</strong> has been developed to support this task-based model.<br />
The focus of the new streamlined holistic assessment process is to focus on demonstrated skills<br />
and knowledge and is not reliant on documentary evidence, as the main source of evidence.<br />

Section 1 – Assessor’s Information<br />
Explanation of <strong>RPL</strong> documents<br />
a) Interview Question Bank and Recording Sheets (Section 3): The interview question<br />
bank is the second stage of the process, in which the Assessor and the candidate confirm<br />
the knowledge by discussing a series of questions. Each of these questions includes a<br />
series of Key Points, which may assist the Assessor in guiding the discussions.<br />
b) Practical Tasks and Observation Recording Sheets (Section 4): These tools are<br />
designed to guide the Assessor and candidate through a workplace observation, proving<br />
the candidate’s ability to conduct the specific tasks and skills required for recognition of<br />
competency in the particular area.<br />
c) Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms (Section 5): This document is for<br />
the candidate to assess their suitability for <strong>RPL</strong> process, by asking them to consider each<br />
of the points and assessing their ability against the task. It has been broken into smaller<br />
skill groups, clustering like activities together to enable ease of completion. It is then<br />
reinforced by the candidate’s supervisor’s comments, both against tasks and as a<br />
summary for each group. This serves as third party validation of the candidate’s claims.<br />
d) Third Party Report and Supporting Documentation (if applicable) (Section 6): The<br />
third party verification report is provided for referees, for example the supervisor, to<br />
confirm the candidate’s skills and experience in the qualification/occupation. This is<br />
particularly useful in addressing employability skill requirements. It is important to note<br />
that third party reports are not always available and it is recommended that Assessors use<br />
their professional judgement to determine if this is a requirement.<br />
e) Mapping Document (Section 7): This tool demonstrates how each of the documents<br />
reflects the units of competency in the particular cluster/skill set.<br />
Employability skills: This qualification has embedded employability skills. The interview<br />
and demonstration/observation tasks have been mapped against the employability skills<br />
for this qualification, to assist the Assessor in identifying the target areas.<br />

Section 3<br />
Interview Question Bank<br />
and<br />
Recording Sheets<br />
This section contains questions the Assessor may ask the candidate while documenting<br />
their conversation during the <strong>RPL</strong> interview.<br />
Assessor’s Instructions<br />
It is not intended that every question for each competency be asked or discussed during the<br />
conversation. Only questions related to those competencies that the initial documentary review<br />
has failed to fully address are required.<br />
Each question provides key points to look for in the candidate’s responses. You may wish to<br />
use these key points to formulate questions of your own, contextualise, or rephrase the<br />
suggested questions to suit the candidate’s particular work situation.<br />
On the Recording Sheets, place a tick next to each key point as it is addressed by the candidate<br />
during the conversation. By doing this you are recording what you have heard the candidate say<br />
during the interview.<br />
Use the Assessor’s Comments section next to each question to provide further details about the<br />
context of the discussion or other key points and examples the candidate has discussed that<br />
may be relevant in confirming competence.<br />
It is important to remember that the notes taken during the questioning interview are important<br />
evidence and should be retained as part of the candidate’s assessment records.<br />

Assessor’s Instructions<br />
The interview should allow the candidate to confirm their knowledge as identified by their Self-Evaluation against relevant units of competency. The<br />
Assessor may use these questions to guide the interview ensuring that the candidate addresses the key points identified for each question.<br />
These key points exist as a guide only, and the Assessor is encouraged to expand on them where necessary to satisfy depth of underpinning knowledge<br />
and skills.<br />
It is recommended that the interview be conducted in the workplace, allowing the candidate access to documents, equipment etc to support their<br />
statements.<br />

Recording Sheets<br />
This section contains practical assessment tasks that the candidate will complete to<br />
assist you in determining a candidate’s skills and knowledge.<br />
Assessor’s Instructions<br />
Use the Observation Recording Sheets for each of the practical tasks to document the skills and<br />
knowledge demonstrated by the candidate in completing each of the required tasks.<br />
These practical tasks may be modified to suit the context of the candidate’s workplace, job role<br />
or their work environment.<br />
Not all tasks need to be completed. The Assessor should select only those tasks that will<br />
provide the required evidence to prove competence by the candidate.<br />
For a whole qualification it may be necessary to perform all tasks.<br />
It is important to remember that the notes made by the Assessor during the observation of the<br />
practical demonstration are important evidence and should be retained as part of the<br />
candidate’s assessment records.<br />

Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms<br />
What is Recognition of Prior Learning (<strong>RPL</strong>)?<br />
<strong>RPL</strong> is the acknowledgment of skills and knowledge obtained through learning achieved<br />
outside the formal education and training system and includes work and life experience<br />
including paid and volunteer work and skills attained through leisure pursuits such as musical,<br />
mechanical or linguistic abilities.<br />
<strong>RPL</strong> recognises any prior knowledge and experience and measures it against the qualification<br />
in which students are enrolled. The individual may not need to complete all of a training<br />
program if he or she already possesses some of the competencies taught in the program.<br />
Why you should apply for <strong>RPL</strong><br />
If you apply for <strong>RPL</strong> and your application is successful you could:<br />
� reduce or eliminate the need for any training in skills and knowledge you already have<br />
� save time by not needing to attend any or a reduced number of classes and completing<br />
unnecessary work<br />
� save money because you will not have to buy textbooks and other learning material<br />
� complete your qualification in a shorter time<br />
� advance to a higher level qualification in a shorter time if desired.<br />
Some terms you need to understand<br />
It is important that you understand the following term to assist you with your <strong>RPL</strong> application.<br />
Competence<br />
Competence is the demonstration of skills and knowledge that you have gained through life<br />
and work experiences as well as any training that you have successfully completed that can be<br />
matched against a set of industry performance standards referred to as units of competency.<br />
These units are grouped together to form a specific industry qualification, within the Australian<br />
Quality Training Framework (AQTF).<br />
Each unit of competency is divided into elements (a set of activities that lead to an overall<br />
achievement or demonstration of competence). Each of these elements is further broken down<br />
into a set of performance criteria which give a more detailed description of the skills and<br />
knowledge you need to be able to demonstrate.<br />
Matching your evidence against each of the elements/performance criteria will help you to<br />
reach your qualification more quickly.
MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)<br />
Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms<br />
How to prepare for your <strong>RPL</strong> assessment<br />
In order for your skills to be formally recognised as part of a national qualification, Assessors<br />
must make sure that you (the candidate) have the required skills and knowledge to meet the<br />
industry standard as specified in the relevant Training Package.<br />
You must be involved in the <strong>RPL</strong> process so that all the experience, skills and knowledge you<br />
have gained over time can be correctly identified and suitably demonstrated. This evidence is<br />
gathered and used in recognition of all or some of the units for the qualification you wish to<br />
gain.<br />
All assessment requirements will be discussed with you in advance and you will be given the<br />
opportunity to ask questions and clarify requirements. Being prepared for the assessment<br />
process and knowing what you need to provide can save you valuable time and ensure that<br />
the <strong>RPL</strong> assessment is as simple and stress-free as possible.<br />
Here are some tips to make the application process and interview easier for you.<br />
1. Your Assessor will ask you to talk about your work roles and your employment history.<br />
Bring a copy of your résumé. You might like to write down any work you have done in the<br />
past (paid or unpaid) and where this took place.<br />
2. If you have certificates from any training courses you have completed, bring along either<br />
certified copies or the originals to the interview with the Assessor and they can make a<br />
copy of them.<br />
3. Bring along any other documentation that you think would support your claim that you<br />
have done this work over time.<br />
The following is a list of some of the documents you can provide as examples of your<br />
work history:<br />
� brief CV<br />
� certificates/results of assessment<br />
� any licences<br />
� tickets held, eg forklift, crane<br />
� photographs of work undertaken<br />
� diaries/task sheets/job sheets/logbooks<br />
� site training records<br />
� site competencies held record<br />
� membership of relevant professional associations<br />
� hobbies/interests/special skills outside work<br />
� references/letters from previous employers/supervisors<br />
� industry awards<br />
� any other documentation that may demonstrate your trade or industry experience<br />
or support your claim.<br />

MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)<br />
Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms<br />
Depending on where you have worked and what the work may have included, you may<br />
or may not have documentary evidence. Do not be put off if you do not have<br />
documentary evidence, as the Assessor will work with you during the assessment<br />
process.<br />
4. Think about who you would consider to be your workplace contact or referee.<br />
Is your employer happy to support your aim to become qualified?<br />
Would you feel comfortable if the Assessor contacted your current workplace or previous<br />
workplace/s to validate your skills and spoke to your supervisor/s or employer/s?<br />
5. You will need to supply the contact details of work referees who can confirm your skills in<br />
the industry.<br />
Think about who the best person to confirm your skill level would be.<br />
Think about current or recent supervisors or employers who have observed your work<br />
and who would be able to confirm your previous work skills and experience. The<br />
Assessor will need to contact them.<br />
6. You can speak with your Assessor about other ways you can show your skills for the<br />
trade or industry in which you are seeking recognition.<br />
These could include letters from employers, records of any training courses or<br />
professional development sessions attended, employers or clients in related industries or<br />
government agencies, acknowledgements, workplace forms (as long as there are no<br />
confidentially issues – see below) or any other relevant documents.<br />
Confidentiality issues<br />
It is important that sensitive information is not included as part of your Supporting<br />
Documentation (as identified in Section 6 and any other documentation you wish to use as<br />
evidence). You may need authorisation from your supervisor to use some of your evidence, so<br />
it is always best to check the privacy and confidentiality policies of the organisation. Client<br />
names should be deleted and financial figures or other personal details should be blacked out<br />
and made unidentifiable.
MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)<br />
Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms<br />
The four steps in the <strong>RPL</strong> assessment process<br />
Once your training organisation has provided you with the information you need to apply for<br />
<strong>RPL</strong>, you need to follow these four steps in order to complete the process.<br />
Step 1 –<br />
Self-Evaluation<br />
Before you decide to apply for <strong>RPL</strong> you need to assess your current<br />
competence for one or several units of competency.<br />
Complete the candidate information and self-evaluation forms provided<br />
with as much information of your previous work experience as you can.<br />
This will allow for an initial assessment of your experience and a check<br />
to see whether you can demonstrate the required skills and knowledge.<br />
You can discuss this with an <strong>RPL</strong> Assessor if you want.<br />
You must be able to provide evidence against the<br />
elements/performance criteria for the relevant unit/s of competency.<br />
It is not enough to simply state that you possess the skills and<br />
knowledge required. You must be able to demonstrate competence.<br />
This is your opportunity to provide as much proof as you can of the<br />
variety of experience you have had. You should supply examples of<br />
your work history if you have any. (See Tip 3 above.)<br />
Depending on the trade or industry you have worked in, you may or<br />
may not have documentary evidence available. This should not deter<br />
you from seeking <strong>RPL</strong>, as your Assessor will work with you throughout<br />
the <strong>RPL</strong> process.<br />
You will also need to supply the contact details of work referees who<br />
can confirm your skills in the industry.<br />
By asking your supervisor to complete their part of your self-evaluation,<br />
they will be providing valuable evidence confirming the work<br />
experience, skills and knowledge you have demonstrated in the<br />
performance of your work duties.<br />
You will also be provided with a list of suggested evidence that you<br />
could use to demonstrate that you are competent in a particular unit or<br />
units of competency. This list is a guide only. If you have other suitable<br />
evidence to support your claim for <strong>RPL</strong> then you are encouraged to<br />
share this with your assessor.<br />
If you do not believe that you have any suitable evidence, then you<br />
should discuss your options with your assessor.<br />
Once you have completed the self-evaluation and made the decision<br />
that you would like to continue with the <strong>RPL</strong> process, make an<br />
appointment for an interview and enrol for <strong>RPL</strong>.<br />
Note: It is possible to gain <strong>RPL</strong> for an entire qualification.<br />

MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)<br />
Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms<br />
An interview with an Assessor who understands your industry will be<br />
organised for you. They will review – usually with you – the information<br />
and supporting documentation you have provided and match up your<br />
skills to the units/subjects in the qualification.<br />
During your <strong>RPL</strong> interview, your Assessor will discuss with you your<br />
self-evaluation and any evidence you have provided.<br />
It is at this point that you will be able to identify any previous work<br />
experience and discuss this with your Assessor.<br />
During this conversation, you will be required to answer questions<br />
relating to your work experience. This questioning forms part of the<br />
assessment, as it will identify your current knowledge and skills<br />
regarding the area of industry in which you are applying for recognition.<br />
If you are currently enrolled in a training course relating to this<br />
qualification, it is important that you let your trainer know that you<br />
intend to apply for <strong>RPL</strong>, then nominate the units you have selected for<br />
<strong>RPL</strong> so that the required documentation can be processed and your<br />
application can go ahead.<br />
It is at this stage that a decision will be made whether you are able to<br />
proceed to the next step or whether you need to undergo gap training.<br />
Your Assessor will organise with you and your employer to conduct a<br />
practical skills test at your workplace (if appropriate) or other suitable<br />
location.<br />
This is your opportunity to demonstrate your level of competence on a<br />
practical level. The assessment will focus on the skills required in the<br />
work activities which relate to the qualification in which you are applying<br />
for recognition.<br />
Your Assessor will identify the skills they want you to demonstrate by<br />
asking you to complete certain tasks.<br />
Your Assessor will need to confirm your previous work experience with<br />
someone (such as your supervisor or employer) who can vouch for<br />
your skills over a period of time.<br />
They will contact the referees you have provided as part of the<br />
candidate information.<br />
Your Assessor may ask you to give your selected workplace contacts<br />
or previous employers the Third Party report to complete.<br />
Authentication of these reports by the Assessor would then be required.
MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)<br />
Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms<br />
After the assessment<br />
After the assessment, your Assessor will advise you of the units of competency you have<br />
successfully completed. You will also be advised whether you have gained the full qualification<br />
or if gaps have been identified during the recognition process. If you do have skill gaps, these<br />
may be addressed through additional training.<br />
If you have any questions during the <strong>RPL</strong> process, you should contact your Assessor.<br />
