Session Length: 2.5 hours

The Standards for RTOs require an RTO to offer RPL to individual learners (Clause 1.12). In the Glossary, RPL is described as “an assessment process that assesses the competencies of an individual that may have been acquired through formal, non-formal and informal learning”. RPL must meet the rigorous requirements of assessment as detailed in Clause 1.8.

This workshop deals with common misunderstandings and confusions about RPL and related concepts, examines the requirements of the Standards, then presents an approach to RPL that supports the needs of the individual, industry, the RTO, the Training Package and the Standards.
