  • 4. Diploma of Project Management Assessment Record Book (ARB) AQF LEVEL 5 ASSESSMENT PROCESS You should have received a briefing on the assessment process during your ACPM training program or shortly after applying for a Recognition of Current Competency assessment. The following should guide you through the steps involved and the things you are required to do. The Assessment Readiness Checklist (provided on p.41) should be completed successfully before arranging for an assessment. Pre Assessment Interview: You need to have collected a range of evidence of how you have managed projects. You need to have completed and signed your Assessment Record Book. Contact your local ACPM Office and book in for an Assessment Interview. Assessment Interview: The assessment will normally be conducted through an assessment interview, it will go through any documentary evidence you have collected, and allow you to explain more about your projects and how you manage them. The assessment is competency based. This involves reviewing the things that you have done or can do to manage projects. You will be advised of the outcome of the interview: Assessment completed, or Additional evidence required, Discuss a plan for you to collect the evidence, and Advised of any future meeting requirements Post Assessment Interview: After the Assessment Interview, assuming you were not asked to provide additional evidence, your assessor will retain your Assessment Record Book and any notes that were made. The assessor will then go through the Assessment Performance Criteria in detail, considering the evidence references and interview notes to determine competence for each of the Performance Criteria. If the assessor identifies any gaps, he/ she will notify you promptly to discuss any additional requirements. Once the assessor is satisfied that you have met all of the requirements, he/ she will produce an Assessment report and notify you of the result by email or telephone. After the assessment report has been verified through ACPM quality processes, your Testamur will be posted to you along with a Statement of Results stating clearly the units of competency that you have been assessed as competent against. If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of this assessment you should: Discuss the nature of your complaint with the assigned assessor in the first instance, Contact the National Delivery Manager of ACPM if the issues are unresolved. Note that you may stop the process of this assessment at anytime. AIPMs RegPM Certification Program: If you are interested in ACPM conducting your RegPM assessment in conjunction with this assessment: You must have applied to and paid for both membership of the AIPM and the RegPM program prior to the completion of this assessment. You have the right to lodge an appeal against the assessment to the AIPMs RegPM Verifier if you are dissatisfied with the RegPM assessment.

  • 5. Diploma of Project Management Assessment Record Book (ARB) USING THE ASSESSMENT RECORD BOOK This book is designed to help you achieve your qualification through a systematic and simple process. It is strongly recommended that you take the time to read and understand the following introductory pages. If you have any queries or concerns about anything on the following pages you should contact the Australian College of Project Management as soon as possible so that your assessment can be completed in the most timely and effective way. Your Assessment The process you will be following is known as a competency-based assessment. The difference between this process and traditional forms of assessments is that evidence of your current skills and knowledge will be measured against national and international standards of best practice, not against the learning you have undertaken either recently or in the past. Furthermore, the assessment will be concerned with how you apply the skills and knowledge in your workplace, not in the training room, nor in a hypothetical case study. The standards used by the Australian College of Project Management are known as the National Competency Standards for Project Management and are endorsed by the industry groups and national bodies here and overseas. The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) endorse the National Competency Standards for Project Management (AQF Levels 4-6). They are incorporated in the Business Services Training Package BSB07. When your assessment is successful against these standards, your skills and knowledge will be deemed to be equal to national and international best practice, and the qualification you gain will reflect this. Using the Assessment Record Book (ARB) The Competency Standards are divided into Units of Competence. Each of these Units are divided into Elements which have a number of Performance Criteria. To be assessed against the Unit, you must provide evidence that meets the Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria by which you will be assessed are listed in this ARB, and has been grouped into the three broad phases of project performance- Planning, Execution and Closure. There are only two recommendations that will be made as a result of your assessment - the evidence you have brought forward shows that you are: competent against the national standards and need produce no more evidence, or you are not yet competent, in that the evidence you have provided doesnt yet show your skills and knowledge to be equivalent to the national standards - you will be asked to bring forward other evidence. Please Note: You may find that as a result of your assessment you are competent in some areas but not yet competent in others. This is okay. Where you have been assessed as competent, these areas need not require any further production of evidence leaving you free to concentrate on the others. Your assessor will explain this to you further at the time of your assessment. Diploma ARB ACPM Pty Ltd Page 5 Version 2009-01 A Division of Planpower Pty Ltd
  • 6. Diploma of Project Management Assessment Record Book (ARB) Evidence Evidence of competency can be shown in any one, or a number, of ways: Direct examination of evidence - written evidence that shows you have met the performance criteria, or by observation of you carrying out the task. Oral or written questions - these help the assessor get a better understanding of why you do, or have done, certain things in the manner shown. Supporting evidence - from workmates, current or former employers and supervisors, or others who have worked with you and know the quality and degree of skills and knowledge you possess. Historical evidence - such things as qualifications, certificates reports etc. These will show that you were capable of demonstrating the required level of competence in the past. In some cases historical evidence might have to be supported by direct evidence that shows your skill and knowledge is still current. Any of these can be presented as written evidence, video-taped performance or audio tapes of such things as interviews, counselling sessions etc, or supporting evidence given verbally by workmates. What is important is that your evidence satisfies your assessor as to the level and degree of your skills and knowledge when measured against the competency standards. It is important to note that completed and well maintained Project Plans, Change Management Processes, Progress Reports and Completion Reports (covering all the functions of project management) will satisfy most of the evidence requirements. The Rules of Evidence When making a judgment about your evidence, the assessor will be looking for: Validity - does your evidence relate to the standards you are seeking assessment against or are they more closely related to something else? Authenticity - does your evidence reflect something you have actually done either in full or in part? Currency - does your evidence show that you can perform this activity now or in the future, including your having up to date knowledge? Reliability - will your evidence be capable of showing the same outcomes no matter how many times it is assessed or how many assessors carry out the assessment? Sufficiency - is there sufficient evidence to show your competency or will there need to be more (or supporting) evidence brought forward? These are the questions the assessor will ask him or herself when assessing and judging your evidence. It will be very helpful to him or her if you ask yourself these questions before selecting and presenting the evidence - time, and a lot of frustration and heartache, may be saved if you do.

  • 7. Diploma of Project Management Assessment Record Book (ARB) Notes on completing this book The smallest part of the standards for which you can gain a full qualification is the Unit. Each Unit has Elements against which Performance Criteria are listed. You will need to provide evidence against these Performance Criteria. The most likely evidence you will provide has been aligned to the Performance Criteria. If you provide evidence which is complete and detailed, it should meet the Performance Criteria. How was achievement of this element demonstrated? List the evidence in the List of Evidence Provided for Assessment and give it a Reference Number. Use this Reference Number to refer to that piece of evidence where-ever else it meets the Performance Criteria. You will find that the one piece of evidence (eg: a Project Plan) may meet several Performance Criteria in several Elements. What is the evidence and where can it be found? The ARB provides a record of what you have achieved. To maintain proof of this achievement it is important that you index your evidence accurately (in the column provided) against its location in your Portfolio of Evidence. Evidence may be provided by a whole variety of documents/reports etc, depending on your particular circumstances. Throughout your initial interview or training sessions you will have discussed what may or may not be useful or sufficient evidence of competency against the standards. You should refer to your notes for ideas on where to start collecting evidence or talk to your assessor. If you are still in doubt, talk to someone you know who understands competency-based assessment, and the standards against which you are being assessed - preferably someone who has experienced assessment either as a candidate or as an assessor. Evidence Retention by ACPM ACPM will not store your portfolio of evidence for longer than 12 months, you should request the evidence to be returned to you at the end of your assessment if you want to keep it for your records. It is recommended that you keep a spare copy of your evidence if you are sending your evidence to us by mail or courier.
