Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Assessment Tool Kit
MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)
This RPL Assessment Tool Kit has been developed by the Western Australian Department of
Education and Training, 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
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 it is recommended that Assessors use
their professional judgement to determine if this is a requirement.
e)
Mapping Document (Section 7): This tool demonstrates how each of the documents
reflects the units of competency in the particular cluster/skill set.
Employability skills: This qualification has embedded employability skills. The interview
and demonstration/observation tasks have been mapped against the employability skills
for this qualification, to assist the Assessor in identifying the target areas.

Section 3 – Interview Question Bank and Recording Sheets
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 competence.
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.

Assessor’s Instructions
The interview should allow the candidate to confirm their knowledge as identified by their Self-Evaluation against relevant units of competency. The
Assessor may use these questions to guide the interview ensuring that the candidate addresses the key points identified for each question.
These key points exist as a guide only, and the Assessor is encouraged to expand on them where necessary to satisfy depth of underpinning knowledge
and skills.
It is recommended that the interview be conducted in the workplace, allowing the candidate access to documents, equipment etc to support their
statements.

Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
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 term 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.

Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
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:








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.

Version 1, May 2009
Page 144 of 218
MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)
Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
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.

Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
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.
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.)
Step 1 –
Self-Evaluation
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.
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.
Note: It is possible to gain RPL for an entire qualification.

Version 1, May 2009
Page 146 of 218
MEM50205 Diploma of Engineering – Technical (Mechanical)
Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
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.
Step 2 – Enrolment
and interview with
the 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.
Your Assessor will organise with you and your employer to conduct a
practical skills test at your workplace (if appropriate) or other suitable
location.
Step 3 – Practical
demonstration of
your skills
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.

Section 5 – Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
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.
