What is RPL? RPL recognises that you may already have the skills and knowledge needed to meet national competency standards. Instead of undertaking training and assessment for a course you can provide evidence to show that you already meet the required standard. What evidence do I need? Evidence will differ from person to person, depending upon their work and life experiences. There is no specific type of evidence that is essential, rather it is up to you to provide whatever evidence you think demonstrates that you meet the skills and knowledge specified in a unit of competency. The requirements for the unit(s) of competency in your course are summarised at the end of this document. There are many suitable forms of evidence including: Academic achievements Assessments/assignments Awards Attendance record Brief Budgets Business case Care plan Certificates Challenge test Checklist Committee work Conference attendance Course outline
Customer evaluations/feedback Demonstration Diary Drawings Emails Financial statements Job description Letter of support Log book Marketing plan Minutes of meeting Observation Performance appraisal report Photos
Plans Portfolio Position description Policies Presentation notes Procedure manual Project Proposal Published works References Reports Resume Rosters or timesheets Training plan Work samples
If you do not have enough evidence we can provide you with assessment tasks to complete instead. When submitting evidence, keep the following in mind:
To be suitable, your evidence must relate to the criteria specified in the unit(s) of competency. You need to submit enough evidence for an assessment to be made. Your evidence needs to show that your skills and knowledge are current and up-to-date. If your evidence is more than two years old you should have other, more recent evidence to supplement older evidence. Your evidence needs to prove that you have the required skills and knowledge. It cant just suggest that you probably know something.

How do I apply? Enrol in your chosen course and indicate on the enrolment form the units that you are seeking RPL for. You will be sent an RPL application form and more information about the RPL application process. Assessment of your evidence will begin as soon as your enrolment has been processed and your evidence has been submitted. How long does it take? The initial assessment of your evidence will usually be completed within 3 working days. If your evidence proves that you have the required skills and knowledge then your RPL assessment will conclude at this point and you will receive credit for the relevant unit(s) in your course. If there are gaps in your evidence, these gaps will be outlined to you and you will be asked to provide more evidence. You can elect to complete an assessment task in lieu of providing more evidence if you wish. When can I apply for RPL? You can apply for RPL at anytime during your course. You can choose to either:
complete the RPL process first and then continue with the remainder of the course, or work through the course from the beginning but submit evidence in lieu of completing the assessment tasks as you come to each assessment task.
