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. 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. 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. 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. 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
