About this Webinar 

Recognition of current competence is the formal acknowledgment of a person's current skills and knowledge, no matter how, when or where these were achieved. Recognition can occur in two ways – through recognition of prior learning (RPL) and through the granting of credit transfer (CT). The challenge for many RTOs is how to create  a robust recognition-based assessment package that is both candidate and audit friendly.

This webinar will focus mainly on RPL. It will explore linking workplace activity and the evidence it generates to the requirements of a unit of competency.

It will consider a number of common RPL challenges.

It will also provide ideas for monitoring and evaluating the developed recognition package, so that it remains relevant and meaningful to candidate needs and intuitive to navigate.

Alignment: This webinar addresses some aspects of the content of the unit of competency TAEASS504 Develop and implement recognition strategies, which is an elective unit in TAE50116 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training and TAE50216 Diploma of Training Design and Development.

Key topics covered within the webinar

• Identifying the work done by the candidate and aligning it with the purpose, focus and key requirements of the unit of competency for which recognition is sought
• Using this analysis to “discover” evidence requirements
• Responding to common challenges when developing recognition-based assessment:
  • dealing with an “already competent” candidate (currency and frequency of performance)
  • dealing with “wild” evidence (rules of evidence)
  • “generating” rather than “gathering” evidence (competency conversation)
  • dealing with evidence that is specific to the candidate’s context
  • satisfying “other players” about the rigour of the RPL process and the validity of its outcomes
• Developing and documenting a robust recognition package
• Monitoring and evaluating the recognition package and its outcomes
