Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Assessment Tool Kit

MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)

This RPL Assessment Tool Kit has been developed by the Western Australian Department of

Education and Training, in consultation with industry, as a resource to assist RPL Assessors by

providing a set of quality assessment tools, which can be used to conduct whole-of-qualification

RPL. This kit also contains information which can be provided to the candidate.

This kit should be customised to suit the needs of the candidate, employer/industry or Assessor

and should reflect the purpose for which it is being used.

It is recommended that prior to using this kit for the first time, and after any

modifications or contextualisation, that this assessment kit be validated by the user to

ensure it meets the required Australian Qualification Training Framework Standards

(AQTF), relevant Training Package requirements and Registered Training Organisation

(RTO) policies.

A task-based model for RPL

A process for RPL has been developed that promotes holistic, task-based assessment, and

which focuses on relating assessment activities to actual job tasks. The intention of this model is

to streamline and simplify recognition processes for prospective candidates. This RPL

Assessment Tool Kit has been developed to support this task-based model.

The focus of the new streamlined holistic assessment process is to focus on demonstrated skills

and knowledge and is not reliant on documentary evidence, as the main source of evidence.

Section 1

Assessor’s Information

It is important that you complete both Sections 3 (Interview/Questioning) and 4 (Practical

Assessment) when completing RPL assessment using this kit.

The RPL process is a streamlined process which does not rely solely on documentary

evidence. It uses a combination of questioning, practical assessment and supporting evidence

to provide evidence of the candidate’s competence.

Explanation of RPL documents

a) Interview Question Bank and Recording Sheets (Section 3): The interview question

bank is the second stage of the process, in which the Assessor and the candidate confirm

the knowledge by discussing a series of questions. Each of these questions includes a

series of Key Points, which may assist the Assessor in guiding the discussions.

b) Practical Tasks and Observation Recording Sheets (Section 4): These tools are

designed to guide the Assessor and candidate through a workplace observation, proving

the candidate’s ability to conduct the specific tasks and skills required for recognition of

competency in the particular area.

c) Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms (Section 5): This document is for

the candidate to assess their suitability for RPL process, by asking them to consider each

of the points and assessing their ability against the task. It has been broken into smaller

skill groups, clustering like activities together to enable ease of completion. It is then

reinforced by the candidate’s supervisor’s comments, both against tasks and as a

summary for each group. This serves as third party validation of the candidate’s claims.

d) Third Party Report and Supporting Documentation (if applicable) (Section 6): The

third party verification report is provided for referees, for example the supervisor, to

confirm the candidate’s skills and experience in the qualification/occupation. This is

particularly useful in addressing employability skill requirements. It is important to note

that third party reports are not always available and it is recommended that Assessors use

their professional judgement to determine if this is a requirement.

e) Mapping Document (Section 7): This tool demonstrates how each of the documents

reflects the units of competency in the particular cluster/skill set.

Employability skills: This qualification has embedded employability skills. The interview

and demonstration/observation tasks have been mapped against the employability skills

for this qualification, to assist the Assessor in identifying the target areas.

Page 19 of 206 © Department of Education and Training 2009 Version 1, July 2009

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.

Section 4

Practical Tasks and

Observation Recording Sheets

This section contains practical assessment tasks that the candidate will complete to

assist you in determining a candidate’s skills and knowledge.

Assessor’s Instructions

Use the Observation Recording Sheets for each of the practical tasks to document the skills and

knowledge demonstrated by the candidate in completing each of the required tasks.

These practical tasks may be modified to suit the context of the candidate’s workplace, job role

or their work environment.

Not all tasks need to be completed. The Assessor should select only those tasks that will

provide the required evidence to prove competence by the candidate.

For a whole qualification it may be necessary to perform all tasks.

It is important to remember that the notes made by the Assessor during the observation of the

practical demonstration are important evidence and should be retained as part of the

candidate’s assessment records.

Task 10 – Engineering practical project

Your task is to demonstrate a significant contribution to a review of an engineering process or

product component in your work environment. The aim of the review is to improve the quality

and efficiency of the process or product component by assessing its design, researching

options for improvement, researching materials, creating design drawings, and selecting the

appropriate materials and resources.

Design, development and improvement activities may be applied in the selection and

implementation of software, test equipment, materials, components and systems, support

structures, power supply and control, data collection and supervisory systems.

This task is divided into steps.

Step 1

Consult with your Assessor and/or workplace supervisor to select the process or product component to be reviewed.

Step 2

Research options for improvement and identify and clarify design requirements.

Step 3

Research to select the resources, skills, knowledge and techniques required for the task, and identify the sources of information.

Step 4

With the help of others, identify control and supervisory systems if required.

Step 5

Specify the resources and technical support required by applying and/or checking against:

appropriate basic scientific principles and techniques

appropriate assumptions and calculations

material properties, methods and process knowledge

functional or performance specifications of the system or component.

Step 6

Contribute to the full design process by creating documentation, graphics and specifications representing the design requirements.

What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?

RPL is the acknowledgment of skills and knowledge obtained through learning achieved

outside the formal education and training system and includes work and life experience

including paid and volunteer work and skills attained through leisure pursuits such as musical,

mechanical or linguistic abilities.

RPL recognises any prior knowledge and experience and measures it against the qualification

in which students are enrolled. The individual may not need to complete all of a training

program if he or she already possesses some of the competencies taught in the program.

Why you should apply for RPL

If you apply for RPL and your application is successful you could:

reduce or eliminate the need for any training in skills and knowledge you already have

save time by not needing to attend any or a reduced number of classes and completing

unnecessary work

save money because you will not have to buy textbooks and other learning material

complete your qualification in a shorter time

advance to a higher level qualification in a shorter time if desired.

Some terms you need to understand

It is important that you understand the following term to assist you with your RPL application.

Competence

Competence is the demonstration of skills and knowledge that you have gained through life

and work experiences as well as any training that you have successfully completed that can be

matched against a set of industry performance standards referred to as units of competency.

These units are grouped together to form a specific industry qualification, within the Australian

Quality Training Framework (AQTF).

Each unit of competency is divided into elements (a set of activities that lead to an overall

achievement or demonstration of competence). Each of these elements is further broken down

into a set of performance criteria which give a more detailed description of the skills and

knowledge you need to be able to demonstrate.

Matching your evidence against each of the elements/performance criteria will help you to

reach your qualification more quickly.

How to prepare for your RPL assessment

In order for your skills to be formally recognised as part of a national qualification, Assessors

must make sure that you (the candidate) have the required skills and knowledge to meet the

industry standard as specified in the relevant Training Package.

You must be involved in the RPL process so that all the experience, skills and knowledge you

have gained over time can be correctly identified and suitably demonstrated. This evidence is

gathered and used in recognition of all or some of the units for the qualification you wish to

gain.

All assessment requirements will be discussed with you in advance and you will be given the

opportunity to ask questions and clarify requirements. Being prepared for the assessment

process and knowing what you need to provide can save you valuable time and ensure that

the RPL assessment is as simple and stress-free as possible.

Here are some tips to make the application process and interview easier for you.

1. Your Assessor will ask you to talk about your work roles and your employment history.

Bring a copy of your résumé. You might like to write down any work you have done in the

past (paid or unpaid) and where this took place.

2. If you have certificates from any training courses you have completed, bring along either

certified copies or the originals to the interview with the Assessor and they can make a

copy of them.

3. Bring along any other documentation that you think would support your claim that you

have done this work over time.

The following is a list of some of the documents you can provide as examples of your

work history:

brief CV

certificates/results of assessment

any licences

tickets held, eg forklift, crane

photographs of work undertaken

diaries/task sheets/job sheets/logbooks

site training records

site competencies held record

membership of relevant professional associations

hobbies/interests/special skills outside work

references/letters from previous employers/supervisors

industry awards

any other documentation that may demonstrate your trade or industry experience or support your claim.

Page 139: Department of Education and Training Western …tle.westone.wa.gov.au/content/file/0aa1f186-214e-44b2-91...Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Assessment Tool Kit 5 Overview of the

MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical) Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms

© Department of Education and Training Page 139 of 206 Version 1, May 2009

Depending on where you have worked and what the work may have included, you may

or may not have documentary evidence. Do not be put off if you do not have

documentary evidence, as the Assessor will work with you during the assessment

process.

4. Think about who you would consider to be your workplace contact or referee.

Is your employer happy to support your aim to become qualified?

Would you feel comfortable if the Assessor contacted your current workplace or previous

workplace/s to validate your skills and spoke to your supervisor/s or employer/s?

5. You will need to supply the contact details of work referees who can confirm your skills in

the industry.

Think about who the best person to confirm your skill level would be.

Think about current or recent supervisors or employers who have observed your work

and who would be able to confirm your previous work skills and experience. The

Assessor will need to contact them.

6. You can speak with your Assessor about other ways you can show your skills for the

trade or industry in which you are seeking recognition.

These could include letters from employers, records of any training courses or

professional development sessions attended, employers or clients in related industries or

government agencies, acknowledgements, workplace forms (as long as there are no

confidentially issues – see below) or any other relevant documents.

Confidentiality issues

It is important that sensitive information is not included as part of your Supporting

Documentation (as identified in Section 6 and any other documentation you wish to use as

evidence). You may need authorisation from your supervisor to use some of your evidence, so

it is always best to check the privacy and confidentiality policies of the organisation. Client

names should be deleted and financial figures or other personal details should be blacked out

and made unidentifiable.

MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical) Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms

© Department of Education and Training Page 140 of 206 Version 1, May 2009

The four steps in the RPL assessment process

Once your training organisation has provided you with the information you need to apply for

RPL, you need to follow these four steps in order to complete the process.

Step 1 –

Self-Evaluation

Before you decide to apply for RPL you need to assess your current

competence for one or several units of competency.

Complete the candidate information and self-evaluation forms provided

with as much information of your previous work experience as you can.

This will allow for an initial assessment of your experience and a check

to see whether you can demonstrate the required skills and knowledge.

You can discuss this with an RPL Assessor if you want.

You must be able to provide evidence against the

elements/performance criteria for the relevant unit/s of competency.

It is not enough to simply state that you possess the skills and

knowledge required. You must be able to demonstrate competence.

This is your opportunity to provide as much proof as you can of the

variety of experience you have had. You should supply examples of

your work history if you have any. (See Tip 3 above.)

Depending on the trade or industry you have worked in, you may or

may not have documentary evidence available. This should not deter

you from seeking RPL, as your Assessor will work with you throughout

the RPL process.

You will also need to supply the contact details of work referees who

can confirm your skills in the industry.

By asking your supervisor to complete their part of your self-evaluation,

they will be providing valuable evidence confirming the work

experience, skills and knowledge you have demonstrated in the

performance of your work duties.

You will also be provided with a list of suggested evidence that you

could use to demonstrate that you are competent in a particular unit or

units of competency. This list is a guide only. If you have other suitable

evidence to support your claim for RPL then you are encouraged to

share this with your assessor.

If you do not believe that you have any suitable evidence, then you

should discuss your options with your assessor.

Once you have completed the self-evaluation and made the decision

that you would like to continue with the RPL process, make an

appointment for an interview and enrol for RPL.

Note: It is possible to gain RPL for an entire qualification.

MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical) Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms

© Department of Education and Training Page 141 of 206 Version 1, May 2009

Step 2 – Enrolment

and interview with

the Assessor

An interview with an Assessor who understands your industry will be

organised for you. They will review – usually with you – the information

and supporting documentation you have provided and match up your

skills to the units/subjects in the qualification.

During your RPL interview, your Assessor will discuss with you your

self-evaluation and any evidence you have provided.

It is at this point that you will be able to identify any previous work

experience and discuss this with your Assessor.

During this conversation, you will be required to answer questions

relating to your work experience. This questioning forms part of the

assessment, as it will identify your current knowledge and skills

regarding the area of industry in which you are applying for recognition.

If you are currently enrolled in a training course relating to this

qualification, it is important that you let your trainer know that you

intend to apply for RPL, then nominate the units you have selected for

RPL so that the required documentation can be processed and your

application can go ahead.

It is at this stage that a decision will be made whether you are able to

proceed to the next step or whether you need to undergo gap training.

Step 3 – Practical

demonstration of

your skills

Your Assessor will organise with you and your employer to conduct a

practical skills test at your workplace (if appropriate) or other suitable

location.

This is your opportunity to demonstrate your level of competence on a

practical level. The assessment will focus on the skills required in the

work activities which relate to the qualification in which you are applying

for recognition.

Your Assessor will identify the skills they want you to demonstrate by

asking you to complete certain tasks.

Step 4 – Provision

of further

supporting

evidence

Your Assessor will need to confirm your previous work experience with

someone (such as your supervisor or employer) who can vouch for

your skills over a period of time.

They will contact the referees you have provided as part of the

candidate information.

Your Assessor may ask you to give your selected workplace contacts

or previous employers the Third Party report to complete.

Authentication of these reports by the Assessor would then be required.

MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical) Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms

© Department of Education and Training Page 142 of 206 Version 1, May 2009

After the assessment

After the assessment, your Assessor will advise you of the units of competency you have

successfully completed. You will also be advised whether you have gained the full qualification

or if gaps have been identified during the recognition process. If you do have skill gaps, these

may be addressed through additional training.

If you have any questions during the RPL process, you should contact your Assessor.
