PLUS

Want to know how to develop RPL Toolkits that make assessors, employers & candidates happy?


ü Need a better way to facilitate the recognition of existing staff skills than having them 'offline' for extended periods of training and assessment time?

ü As an assessor, tired of sifting through mountains of supplied documents looking for the ones that are relevant?

ü Want to know how to develop RPL tools that truly support the candidate - even if they don't have documents as evidence?

ü Simply interested to know more about recognition and clustering techniques?



The Advanced RPL Assessor course shows an easier, more user-friendly option for developing RPL tools and processes

 

What we know:

ü Potential candidates for RPL are often dissuaded from pursing a recognition pathway and end up feeling frustrated and like "it'll just be easier to do the course" - despite already having the knowledge and experience required

ü Many existing practices rely on the candidate to interpret the unit or evidence requirements themselves to figure out what is needed for their submission portfolio

ü Assessors (and RTOs) who can streamline recognition processes and provide guided support to candidates on navigating RPL will be in high-demand as industry looks to fill skills shortages

ü There is only a small percentage of trainers/assessors who say they feel highly confident to assess RPL, let alone develop the tools!

ü ASQA have listed RPL as one of their regulatory risk priority themes for the 2023-24 period. ASQA are concerned about current non-rigorous RPL practices of awarding qualifications to people without the requisite skills and competencies. We're proud to offer a course that specifically addresses this issue - plus so much more

  


Why do the Advanced RPL Assessor Learning Program?

ü Build knowledge, enhance existing assessment design and development skills, learn how to create RPL Toolkits that are easier to use, sought-after by industry and inline with world's best-practice

ü Course content developed by an internationally- and nationally-recognised expert in RPL - learn from the best

ü Understand pain points: for RTOs, assessors, employers and candidates - and how to overcome them with good design

ü Learn what to do when a candidate presents with no documentation for evidence - they could still be eligible for RPL

ü The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is an entry-level qualification not specifically targeted to a specialist focus like RPL - take this opportunity to drill down into a focused, highly specialised area of practice

Key considerations

ü This program is a PD Learning Program - not a qualification nor is it linked to a TAE Statement of Attainment

It does, however, cover a gap in the TAEASS514 - namely, how to address varying needs of candidates and build a toolkit and RPL process that will address those, irrespective of whether the candidate has access to a workplace, to workplace documentation and/or any other documentation. Therefore, the program is ideal to supplement TAE unit competencies with content that is focused on practices and processes that can fill real-world demand

ü Undertake this program with one-on-one mentor support from an experienced RPL assessor

ü Access video content and eBook material, peer discussion groups, and formative quiz activities as you progress

ü On successful completion, also be issued with a mapping document that shows how the program provides a practical, relevant source of advanced TAE PD aligned to specific TAE units of competency - great evidence of currency


Who is this course for?

ü Experienced trainers/assessor who want to build on their accredited training and further their knowledge and skills in RPL

ü Compliance managers who need to embed candidate-centred processes into their assessment systems

ü Compliance staff who need to understand the process and who need to develop tools to address varying needs of diverse RPL candidates

ü Instructional designers/assessment writers who have experience developing assessment tools and want to expand their expertise into the development of valid, flexible RPL Toolkits

ü Organisation staff looking for an easier way to conduct RPL

ü Enterprise RTOs and industry-facing RTOs who need efficient systems to formally recognise existing skills of workers

ü Anyone interested in knowing how to make RPL an evidence-generating, rather than simply an evidence-gathering, process

What can I expect to learn in the Advanced RPL Assessor?

The Advanced RPL Assessor program will develop your understanding of processes to:

  • Confidently design and develop clustered RPL assessment tools and supporting resources
  • Identify the RPL candidate's needs according to the level of workplace documentation and support they have access to as part of their claim for RPL 
  • Tailor required resources according to the candidate's circumstances
  • Ensure all developed RPL materials support an assessment process that is assessor-led and candidate-centred


If you think you might like to have your skills verified, the Advanced RPL Assessor - Certification for Professional Practice microcredential is available

Think you might want more than just the learning? 

While the PD Learning Programs are great for advancing your knowledge about RPL, you might want to be recognised for your knowledge and skill to create candidate-centred RPL Toolkits.

If this is the case, a microcredential in Advanced RPL Assessor might be for you. You can undertake certification via a learn and assess or assessment only pathway.
