In the past RPL has often been an overwhelming process for the candidate AND for the assessor. It has often degenerated into a meaningless and exhausting paper chase.  This session will look at a number of concepts that should drive the design and implementation of an effective and efficient, user-friendly RPL process.

Key topics covered

• RPL is an assessment only pathway because the applicant is claiming to be already competent
• Assessors need to be expert in the field being assessed but they need to avoid becoming a victim of their own expertise
• Work back from the job to the unit of competency - applicants don’t think about units of competency; they think about their job
• Stay “big picture” as long as possible – avoid getting bogged down in detail too soon
• Visualise competence
• Harness the power of the “competency conversation”
• Help the applicant “generate” evidence
• Focus on ‘natural’ documents
• Keep asking, “What is this evidence OF?”
• Understand the rules of evidence and use them to tame “wild” evidence
• Use other parties to help authenticate evidence
• Document findings effectively and efficiently
