Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Assessment Tool Kit
<Insert qualification code and title>
This RPL Assessment Tool Kit has been developed by the Western Australian Department of
Training and Workforce Development, in consultation with industry, as a resource to assist RPL
Assessors by providing a set of quality assessment tools which can be used to conduct whole of
qualification RPL. This Kit also contains information which can be provided to the candidate.
This kit should be customised to suit the needs of the candidate, employer/industry or Assessor
and should reflect the purpose for which it is being used.
It is recommended that prior to using this kit for the first time, and after any
modifications or contextualisation, that this assessment kit be validated by the user to
ensure it meets the required Australian Qualification Training Framework Standards
(AQTF), relevant Training Package requirements and Registered Training Organisation
(RTO) policies.
A task-based model for RPL
A process for RPL has been developed that promotes holistic, task-based assessment, and
which focuses on relating assessment activities to actual job tasks. The intention of this model
is to streamline and simplify recognition processes for prospective candidates. This RPL
Assessment Tool Kit has been developed to support this task-based model.
The focus of the new streamlined holistic assessment process is to focus on demonstrated skills
and knowledge, and is not reliant on documentary evidence as the main source of evidence.

Section 1
Assessor’s Information
It is important that you complete both Steps 2 (Interview/Questioning) and 3 (Practical
Tasks) when completing RPL Assessment using this kit.
The RPL process is a streamlined process which does not rely solely on documentary
evidence. It uses a combination of questioning, practical assessment and supporting evidence
to provide evidence of the candidate’s competence.

Explanation of RPL documents
a) Interview Question Bank and Recording Sheets (Section 3): The interview question
bank is the second stage of the process, in which the Assessor and the candidate confirm
the knowledge by discussing a series of questions. Each of these questions includes a
series of Key Points which may assist the Assessor in guiding the discussions.
b) Practical Tasks and Observation Recording Sheets (Section 4): These tools are
designed to guide the Assessor and candidate through a workplace observation, proving
the candidate’s ability to conduct the specific tasks and skills required for recognition of
competency in the particular area.
c) Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms (Section 5): This document is for
the candidate to assess their suitability for RPL process, by asking them to consider each
of the points and assessing their ability against the task. It has been broken into smaller
skill groups, clustering like activities together to enable ease of completion. It is then
reinforced by the candidate’s supervisor’s comments, both against tasks and as a
summary for each group. This serves as third party validation of the candidate’s claims.
d) Third Party Report and Supporting Documentation (if applicable) (Section 6): The
third party verification report is provided for referees, for example the supervisor, to
confirm the candidate’s skills and experience in the qualification/occupation. This is
particularly useful in addressing Employability Skill requirements. It is important to note
that third party reports are not always available and that Assessors are recommended to
use their professional judgement to determine if this is a requirement.
List of suggested supporting documentation (if applicable): A list of suggested
industry specific evidence or supporting documentation (in addition to the generic
documentation) is provided to assist the candidate in collecting evidence to support their
application. <this paragraph can be omitted if a list of additional supporting
documentation is not included in the kit>
e) Mapping document (Section 7): This tool demonstrates how each of the documents
reflects the units of competency in the particular cluster.

Section 3
Interview Question Bank and
Recording Sheets
This section contains questions the Assessor may ask the candidate while documenting their
conversation during the RPL interview.
Assessor’s Instructions
It is not intended that every question for each competency be asked or discussed during the
conversation. Only questions related to those competencies that the initial documentary review
has failed to fully address are required.
Each question provides key points to look for in the candidate’s responses. You may wish to
use these key points to formulate questions of your own, contextualise, or rephrase the
suggested questions to suit the candidate’s particular work situation.
On the Recording Sheets, place a tick next to each key point as it is addressed by the candidate
during the conversation. By doing this, you are recording what you have heard the candidate
say during the interview.
Use the Assessor’s Comments section next to each question to provide further details about the
context of the discussion or other key points and examples the candidate has discussed that
may be relevant in confirming competency.
It is important to remember that the notes taken during the questioning interview are important
evidence and should be retained as part of the candidate’s assessment records.

Section 4
Practical Tasks
and Observation
Recording Sheets
This section contains practical assessment tasks that the candidate will complete to
assist you in determining a candidate’s skills and knowledge.
Assessor’s Instructions
Use the Observation Recording Sheets for each of the practical tasks to document the skills and
knowledge demonstrated by the candidate in completing each of the required tasks.
These practical tasks may be modified to suit the context of the candidate’s workplace, job role
or their work environment.
Not all tasks need to be completed by the applicant. The Assessor should select only those
tasks that will provide the required evidence to prove competency by the candidate.
For a whole qualification it may be necessary to perform all tasks.
It is important to remember that the notes made by the Assessor during the observation of the
practical demonstration are important evidence and should be retained as part of the
candidate’s assessment records
.

Practical tasks While performing the various practical tasks, it is important that the principles of Occupational
Health and Safety, and workplace safety requirements be met at all times.
Assessors need to ensure that the specifications for materials/resources used in the practical
tasks are consistent with those in the critical aspects of evidence. (Refer to the Mapping of
Assessment Tools document for more information.)
<Insert an outline of all the practical tasks that are included in this section and identify the
cluster or skill set of units which these tasks cover, numbering the tasks sequentially>

PART 2
Section 5
Candidate’s Information and
Self-Evaluation Forms
It is recommended that candidates be provided with this information before applying for RPL.

What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)? RPL is the acknowledgment of skills and knowledge obtained through learning achieved outside
the formal education and training system and includes work and life experience including paid
and volunteer work and skills attained through leisure pursuits such as musical, mechanical or
linguistic abilities.
RPL recognises any prior knowledge and experience and measures it against the qualification
in which students are enrolled. The individual may not need to complete all of a training
program if he or she already possesses some of the competencies taught in the program.
Why you should apply for RPL
If you apply for RPL and your application is successful you could:
reduce or eliminate the need for any training in skills and knowledge you already have
save time by not needing to attend any or a reduced number of classes and completing
unnecessary work
save money because you will not have to buy textbooks and other learning material
complete your qualification in a shorter time
advance to a higher level qualification in a shorter time if desired.
Some terms you need to understand
It is important that you understand the following terms to assist you with your RPL application.
Competence
Competence is the demonstration of skills and knowledge that you have gained through life and
work experiences as well as any training that you have successfully completed that can be
matched against a set of industry performance standards referred to as units of competency.
These units are grouped together to form a specific industry qualification, within the Australian
Quality Training Framework (AQTF).
Each unit of competency is divided into elements (a set of activities that lead to an overall
achievement or demonstration of competence). Each of these elements is further broken down
into a set of performance criteria which give a more detailed description of the skills and
knowledge you need to be able to demonstrate.
Matching your evidence against each of the elements/performance criteria will help you to reach
your qualification more quickly.
<insert Qualification Code and Qualification Title> Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
© Department of Training and Workforce Development <insert year> Page 46 of 76 Version 1, <insert month year>
How to prepare for your RPL assessment
In order for your skills to be formally recognised as part of a national qualification, Assessors
must make sure that you (the candidate) have the required skills and knowledge to meet the
industry standard as specified in the relevant Training Package.
You must be involved in the RPL process so that all the experience, skills and knowledge you
have gained over time can be correctly identified and suitably demonstrated. This evidence is
gathered and used in recognition of all or some of the units for the qualification you wish to gain.
All assessment requirements will be discussed with you in advance and you will be given the
opportunity to ask questions and clarify requirements. Being prepared for the assessment
process and knowing what you need to provide can save you valuable time and ensure that the
RPL assessment is as simple and stress-free as possible.
Here are some tips to make the application process and interview easier for you.
1. Your Assessor will ask you to talk about your work roles and your employment history.
Bring a copy of your résumé. You might like to write down any work you have done in the
past (paid or unpaid) and where this took place.
2. If you have certificates from any training courses you have completed, bring along either
certified copies or the originals to the interview with the Assessor and they can make a
copy of them.
3. Bring along any other documentation that you think would support your claim that you
have done this work over time.
The following is a list of some of the documents you can provide as examples of your
work history:
• brief CV
• certificates/results of assessment
• any licences
• tickets held, eg forklift, crane
• photographs of work undertaken
• diaries/task sheets/job sheets/logbooks
• site training records
• site competencies held record
• membership of relevant professional associations
• hobbies/interests/special skills outside work
• references/letters from previous employers/supervisors
• industry awards
• any other documentation that may demonstrate your trade or industry experience or support your claim.
<insert Qualification Code and Qualification Title> Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
Page 47 of 76 © Department of Training and Workforce Development <insert year> Version 1, <insert month year>
Depending on where you have worked and what the work may have included, you may or
may not have documentary evidence. Do not be put off if you do not have documentary
evidence, as the Assessor will work with you during the assessment process.
4. Think about who you would consider to be your workplace contact or referee.
Is your employer happy to support your aim to become qualified?
Would you feel comfortable if the Assessor contacted your current workplace or previous
workplace/s to validate your skills and spoke to your supervisor/s or employer/s?
5. You will need to supply the contact details of work referees who can confirm your skills in
the industry.
Think about who the best person to confirm your skill level would be.
Think about current or recent supervisors or employers who have observed your work and
who would be able to confirm your previous work skills and experience. The Assessor will
need to contact them.
6. You can speak with your Assessor about other ways you can show your skills for the trade
or industry in which you are seeking recognition.
These could include letters from employers, records of any training courses or
professional development sessions attended, employers or clients in related industries or
government agencies, acknowledgements, workplace forms (as long as there are no
confidentially issues – see below) or any other relevant documents.
Confidentiality issues
It is important that sensitive information is not included as part of your Supporting
Documentation (as identified in Section 6 and any other documentation you wish to use as
evidence). You may need authorisation from your supervisor to use some of your evidence, so it
is always best to check the privacy and confidentiality policies of the organisation. Client names
should be deleted and financial figures or other personal details should be blacked out and
made unidentifiable.
<insert Qualification Code and Qualification Title> Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
© Department of Training and Workforce Development <insert year> Page 48 of 76 Version 1, <insert month year>
The four steps in the RPL assessment process Once your training organisation has provided you with the information you need to apply for
RPL, you need to follow these four steps in order to complete the process.
Step 1 –
Self-Evaluation
Before you decide to apply for RPL you need to assess your current
competence for one or several units of competency.
Complete the candidate information and self-evaluation forms provided
with as much information of your previous work experience as you can.
This will allow for an initial assessment of your experience and a check
to see whether you can demonstrate the required skills and knowledge.
You can discuss this with an RPL Assessor if you want.
You must be able to provide evidence against the
elements/performance criteria for the relevant unit/s of competency.
It is not enough to simply state that you possess the skills and
knowledge required. You must be able to demonstrate competence.
This is your opportunity to provide as much proof as you can of the
variety of experience you have had. You should supply examples of
your work history if you have any. (See Tip 3 above.)
Depending on the trade or industry you have worked in, you may or may
not have documentary evidence available. This should not deter you
from seeking RPL, as your Assessor will work with you throughout the
RPL process.
You will also need to supply the contact details of work referees who
can confirm your skills in the industry.
By asking your supervisor to complete their part of your self-evaluation,
they will be providing valuable evidence confirming the work experience,
skills and knowledge you have demonstrated in the performance of your
work duties.
<Developer instructions – customise the above paragraph to suit or delete as applicable>
You will also be provided with a list of suggested evidence that you
could use to demonstrate that you are competent in a particular unit or
units of competency. This list is a guide only. If you have other suitable
evidence to support your claim for RPL then you are encouraged to
share this with your Assessor.
If you do not believe that you have any suitable evidence, then you
should discuss your options with your Assessor.
Once you have completed the self-evaluation and made the decision
that you would like to continue with the RPL process, make an
appointment for an interview and enrol for RPL.
<insert Qualification Code and Qualification Title> Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
Page 49 of 76 © Department of Training and Workforce Development <insert year> Version 1, <insert month year>
Note: It is possible to gain RPL for an entire qualification.
Step 2 – Enrolment
and interview with
the Assessor
An interview with an Assessor who understands your industry will be
organised for you. They will review – usually with you – the information
and supporting documentation you have provided and match up your
skills to the units/subjects in the qualification.
During your RPL interview, your Assessor will discuss with you your
self-evaluation and any evidence you have provided.
It is at this point that you will be able to identify any previous work
experience and discuss this with your Assessor.
During this conversation, you will be required to answer questions
relating to your work experience. This questioning forms part of the
assessment, as it will identify your current knowledge and skills
regarding the area of industry in which you are applying for recognition.
If you are currently enrolled in a training course relating to this
qualification, it is important that you let your Trainer know that you intend
to apply for RPL, then nominate the units you have selected for RPL so
that the required documentation can be processed and your application
can go ahead.
It is at this stage that a decision will be made whether you are able to
proceed to the next step or whether you need to undergo gap training.
Step 3 – Practical
demonstration
of your skills
Your Assessor will organise with you and your employer to conduct a
practical skills test at your workplace (if appropriate) or other suitable
location.
This is your opportunity to demonstrate your level of competence on a
practical level. The assessment will focus on the skills required in the
work activities which relate to the qualification in which you are applying
for recognition.
Your Assessor will identify the skills they want you to demonstrate by
asking you to complete certain tasks.
Step 4 – Provision
of further
supporting
evidence
Your Assessor will need to confirm your previous work experience with
someone (such as your supervisor or employer) who can vouch for your
skills over a period of time.
They will contact the referees you have provided as part of the
candidate information.
Your Assessor may ask you to give your selected workplace contacts or
previous employers the Third Party report to complete. Authentication of
these reports by the Assessor would then be required.
<insert Qualification Code and Qualification Title> Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
© Department of Training and Workforce Development <insert year> Page 50 of 76 Version 1, <insert month year>
After the assessment
After the assessment, your Assessor will advise you of the units of competency you have
successfully completed. You will also be advised whether you have gained the full qualification
or if gaps have been identified during the recognition process. If you do have skill gaps, these
may be addressed through additional training.
If you have any questions during the RPL process, you should contact your Assessor.

Section 7
Mapping of Assessment Tools
This section contains tables with mapping of each of the assessment tools provided, against the
requirements of the units of competency, for the qualification, that makes up this Assessment
Tool Kit.
It is important to note that this section is used for validation purposes only.
Whilst all effort is made to ensure that all the unit requirements for each unit are covered, the
developers do not give any warranty nor accept any liability in relation to the mapping provided.
Note: It is recommended that these Assessment Tools be validated prior to using them
for the first time, or after any customisation has been made, to ensure they meet the
requirements of the organisation and meet AQTF Standards.

Mapping document for Cluster/Skill Set <insert number/s>
Using this document
This document is mapped to the direct sources of evidence required to satisfy competency in
this particular cluster.
Each of the columns reflects the particular tool in use, and the numbers relate to the question
numbers in that tool which support the relevant performance criteria, critical aspects of evidence
or required knowledge and skills in this cluster.
Note: The final column, ‘Supplementary evidence’, refers to any suggested sources of
documentary evidence that the candidate may use to support their application for RPL.
Tips for developers (Delete before printing)
List all units of competency, their titles and codes for each skill set or cluster of units.
Use this section to map each question in Section 3, each Practical Task in Section 4 and any supporting evidence or third party report in Section 6 or each performance criterion in the unit of competency, range statement, underpinning knowledge, underpinning skills, critical aspects of evidence.
Alternatively, you may generate some other form of alignment which includes a consideration of all the requirements of the competency standard – elements, performance criteria, range statement, underpinning knowledge, underpinning skills, critical aspects of evidence.
