<strong>RPL</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>Tool</strong> <strong>Kit</strong><br />

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 />
