What Evidence is accepted for the RPL Process?

The processes used to assess RPL applications may take several (not mutually exclusive) forms, for example:

 

  • assessment based on a portfolio of evidence;
  • direct observation of demonstration of skill or competence;
  • reflective papers, journals or portfolios that relate past learning to the learning or competency outcomes of the current course or qualification;
  • provision of examples of work drawn from the workplace, social, community or other setting in which you may apply your learning, skill or competence;
  • testimonials of learning, skill or competence
  • participation in exactly the same or modified versions of the assessment you  would be required to complete as part of the full course; and
  • combinations of any of the above

 

Please note: All evidence submitted must be your own or directly relate to yourself.

What support will be given to students during the RPL process?

 

  • Learners will be provided with advice about the assessment processes including assistance with identifying the evidence required
  • METS will attempt to accommodate assessment methods to the literacy levels, cultural background and educational background and experiences of learners.
  • METS assessment methods provide a range of ways for learners to demonstrate that they have met the required outcomes

 

METS can not help you decide which units to apply for RPL as this is a personal assessment based on your past acquired skills and experience, although we are happy to help you and offer assistance in the RPL process.

When should I apply for RPL?

RPL is offered to learners prior to, at enrolment and is also available at other times throughout a learners training. It is recommended that learners identify whether they will be applying for RPL before commencing the given course, although we understand that this is not always practical.  Some learners may identify an opportunity for RPL perhaps half-way through the course, in which case we will endeavor to make this possible for you.

Next steps?

The RPL process can be in-depth, can take time, and may not be suitable for everyone. If you are interested in applying for RPL please contact us to register your interest and discuss the best options for you. If you would like to continue, you can then complete an enrolment form and begin your RPL process.
