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