Introduction

Participants who already have some of the required knowledge and/or skills for part or the entire Performance Coach course can apply to complete a module or the whole course via an assessment only pathway – known as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). This document explains the RPL process for you to complete. These tools will assist you to make a decision about whether to apply for recognition, apply to attend training, or a combination of both.

Steps in the RPL process 1. Read this guide and make a list of questions to ask your assessor if necessary.

2. Discuss the RPL process with your assessor to ensure you understand the process and the possible outcomes.

3. Complete the assessment and/or provide proof of your skills and knowledge to the assessor.

4. Assessor provides feedback and makes the assessment decision.

5. If you have only been successful in gaining competency in certain modules within the qualification, you will need to liaise with your state centre to achieve the remainder of the qualification’s competencies.

6. If you have achieved none of the competencies, you will be required to complete all components of the qualification.

7. If you successfully meet all the competencies within the qualification, you will therefore be granted RPL and the Performance Coach qualification.

Proof of relevant skills and knowledge In order to prove you already have the skills and knowledge delivered by this course, you can choose to EITHER:

complete the assessment tasks for the course

OR

provide proof that demonstrates you have these skills and knowledge, which might include:

- demonstrating skills to your assessor

- reports or references supporting your relevant skills and knowledge

- names and contact details of referees

- other types of proof agreed with your assessor

The evidence sheets on the following pages will provide you with examples of evidence that you may have. Read the

Evidence Sheet on the next page to help you make a decision about whether the skills you have match the requirements of

the course.
