Topic

Many assessors advise students that they are better off doing the course than applying for RPL because it all seems too hard. Oftentimes, as Assessors, we feel overwhelmed with how to interpret the evidence.

When it comes to RPL, it’s not about the quantity of evidence the applicant provides; it is about guiding them to provide quality evidence. Your role as the assessor is much more significant than a 'marker and shuffler' of paper.

Welcome to "Fearless RPL for Assessors", where we engaged with these challenges and provided attendees with the tools you need to implement RPL in your RTO.

This PD was designed specifically for RPL Assessors - to further develop an understanding of how RPL can be undertaken confidently and how to having faith in the evidence collected. Attendees walked away with the keys to providing a client service that is positive and rewarding for the applicant.

• An overview of WHAT, WHY and WHO of RPL
