About this session

Join our resident RPL Expert for this webinar session to look at a number of concepts that should drive the design and implementation of an effective and efficient, user-friendly RPL process.

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.

RPL is an assessment only pathway because the applicant is claiming to be already competent so Assessors need to be experts in the field being assessed, but they also need to avoid becoming a victim of their own expertise.  John will explore the idea of working back from the job to the unit of competency (applicants don’t think about units of competency; they think about their job!).  He will discuss the importance of staying ‘big picture’ for as long as possible and how to avoid getting bogged down in the details too soon.

This webinar is a fantastic opportunity to gain some real insights into how the following concepts can be used to streamline and simplify your RPL assessment process:  visualising competence; harnessing the power of the competency conversation; helping the applicant generate evidence; focussing on ‘natural’ documents; keep asking, “What is this evidence OF?”; understanding the rules of evidence and using them to tame “wild” evidence; and using other parties to help authenticate evidence.
