RPL FOR TEACHERS

Cost: $150 Per job placement (+$50 Discounted RSA if required)

Purpose
The purpose of this section is to explain the steps of the RPL process. The process has been streamlined and uses a conversational approach to assess the candidate's knowledge rather than requiring a lot of docuentary information.

Step 1- Provide information of your skills and experience

The candidate provides the following information –
• a self-assessment questionnaire related to the units of competency being delivered and assessed

• an application form providing details of training and professional referees if available

• information of any employment in the industry or relevant experience

• a list of any relevant documents eg
- certificates/results of assessment – registered training organisations, in house courses, workshops, seminars
- results/statements of attendance/certificates
- photographs of work undertaken
- diaries/task sheets/job sheets/log books
- membership of relevant professional associations
- hobbies/interests/special skills outside work

Depending on your individual experience you may or may not have documentary evidence available. This should not deter you from continuing the process.

Step 2 – Interview

An assessor from La-vere College will review your application and arrange to conduct a “competency conversation”. This will enable the candidate to discuss their experience relating to the skills and knowledge required in the qualification. The assessor will have some key questions to ask you.

This is not a test, but an opportunity for you to talk about the industry skills and knowledge you already possess.

If you are able to demonstrate relevant industry knowledge, skills and experience a simple RPL assessment will suffice.

Step 3 – Identification and Trainining

An assessor from La-vere College will determine if there is a need for you to demonstrate some practical skills through practical observations or tasks. A mutually agreed “gap training” program to facilitate you gaining the necessary skills and knowledge in core units, elective units or industry placement will be arranged in order to achieve the complete qualification.

You will need to have an RSA Certificate before commencing any work placement. La-Vere College offers a discounted RSA course for RPL candidates.
