How an RTO uses an RPL Kit

Recognition of prior learning gives a candidate a way to present relevant skills and knowledge they already have. Start with the code on the listing and the requirements the assessor will use. CAQA Resources RPL Kit listings describe six stages and supporting documents. An RTO can use them to brief candidates, organise the evidence and record how an assessor reached a decision.

1. Start the application

Give the candidate the application form and information booklet. Explain the evidence they can submit, who will review it and how to contact the assessor. Use an example from the candidate's work to explain what a useful record looks like. If a document belongs to an employer, discuss how the candidate can demonstrate the work while respecting the employer's rules about access and disclosure.

2. Gather and review evidence

The self assessment helps a candidate describe where they have used relevant skills. The competency conversation lets the assessor ask the candidate to explain what they did and why. Demonstration and observation documents give the assessor a way to record practical work where it is needed. At this stage, organise supporting records by task or unit so the candidate and assessor can find them during the review.

3. Seek independent workplace information

The third party kit is for someone familiar with the candidate's work who has supervised them now or in the past. Explain which activities the person is being asked to comment on and ask them to describe what they actually observed. The assessor can compare their report with the other evidence and follow up if a statement is too general to identify the candidate's contribution.

4. Record the result

Use the post assessment documents to finalise the assessment. Keep the record of the assessor's decision with the relevant evidence and communicate the result to the candidate. If the assessor identifies a gap, record what information is still needed. Decide who will track that action and when the candidate will hear from the RTO.

5. Use the trainer and assessor guidance

The trainer and assessor kit includes benchmarking information, procedures and recording tools. Read it before conducting a conversation or observation so staff agree on how they will interpret the evidence. Try the guidance with a sample case and compare what two assessors would record. Discuss which details support their conclusions and where the guidance needs local instructions.

6. Check the mapping

The mapping document links questions, activities and tasks to unit requirements. Use it to check coverage when reviewing the kit and after changing an example or evidence request. If an activity changes, review the instructions, benchmarks and evidence record alongside the mapping so the assessor can see what the revised activity demonstrates.

Adapt the process for your RTO

In the editable files, add your contact points, submission channels and instructions for handling workplace documents. Where candidates work in different industries, give them examples relevant to their jobs while retaining the requirements the assessor must check. Keep the approved version together and make sure the candidate, assessor and third party each receive the documents intended for their role.

For this collection, the qualifications with the most listings include ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology, ICT30120 Certificate III in Information Technology, HLT64121 Advanced Diploma of Nursing, ICT40120 Certificate IV in Information Technology, ICT60220 Advanced Diploma of Information Technology. Consider how candidates will present existing workplace evidence and how assessors will verify it. A candidate declaration, third party evidence and an assessor decision each serve a different purpose.

What does RPL stand for?

RPL stands for recognition of prior learning. It is an assessment pathway for a person who already has relevant skills and knowledge. The assessor checks the candidate's evidence against the requirements of the units involved.

How does RPL work?

The candidate applies and identifies evidence from their experience. The assessor reviews that evidence, may ask questions or observe a demonstration, and records the decision. The kit provides documents for those steps and for recording evidence from a suitable workplace supervisor.

Can we use an RPL kit template?

A template can help organise an application, evidence and assessment records. Check whether it covers the requirements of the selected units and gives the assessor clear guidance. Adapt the instructions, evidence examples and records to your organisation and review the mapping after edits.

How do I compare RPL kits by unit of competency?

Search using the training code and open the listing to check the units covered. For a qualification, compare the included core and elective units with your plan. Review a sample of the mapping and assessor guidance for one of the units you will use.
