Introduction

This RPL Assessment Tool Kit has been developed by the Western Australian Department of Education and Training, in consultation with industry, as a resource for RPL assessors by providing them with a set of quality assessment tools to be used to conduct whole-of-qualification RPL. This kit also contains information which may 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, after you have modified and contextualised this kit and before you use it for the first time, it be validated by the user to make sure that 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 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. It does not rely on documentary evidence as the main source of evidence.

Part 1

Section 1

Assessor’s Information

It is important that you complete Step 2 (Interview and Questioning) and Step 3 (Demonstration/Observation of Practical Tasks) when completing RPL assessment using this kit.

The RPL process is a streamlined process which does not rely solely on documentary evidence. It uses a combination of questioning, practical assessment and supporting evidence to provide evidence of the candidate’s competence.

of 262 © Department of Education and Training 2008 Version 1, December 2008 MNM20305 – Certificate II in Metalliferous Mining Operations (Processing) Section 1 – Assessor’s Information Introduction Welcome to MNM20305 Certificate II in Metalliferous Mining Operations (Processing).

This RPL Assessment Tool Kit contains 13 (12 required for the qualification + an additional elective as an alternative option) units of competency.

It is simply set out, with a comprehensive list of instructions at the front of each document, as well as covering instructions for each step of the process, as found in the notes for the assessor, and notes for the candidate.

The following documents are included in this kit.  Explanation of RPL documents

 Assessor’s Information

 Units of competency separated into clusters

 Assessment tools for each of the three clusters: o Interview Question Bank and Recording Sheets o Practical Tasks and Observation Recording Sheets

 Candidate’s Information and Self-Evaluation o Candidate Information Form o Candidate Employment History Form o Self-Evaluation Forms for all three clusters

 Supporting documentation (including Third Party Report)

 Mapping documents (including Dimensions of Competency) for all three clusters

 Employability skills mapping for all three clusters.

Explanation of RPL documents

a) Self-Evaluation Form (Section 5): This document is for the candidate to assess their suitability for the RPL process, by asking them to consider each of the points and assess 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.

b) 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.

c) Practical Demonstration/Observation Tasks (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 competence in the particular area. d) Mapping documents (Section 7): These mapping documents reflect the units of competency in each of the three clusters. e) Employability skills (Section 7): This qualification has embedded employability skills. The interview and demonstration/observation tasks have been mapped against the employability skills for this qualification, and to assist the assessor in identifying the target areas.

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, or you can contextualise or rephrase the suggested questions to suit the candidate’s particular work situation.

Place a tick next to each key point on the recording sheets 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 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 competency.

It is important to remember that the notes taken during the interview are important evidence and should be retained as part of the candidate’s assessment records.

Part 2

Section 5

Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation

It is recommended that candidates be provided with this information before applying for RPL.

What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)? RPL is the acknowledgement of skills and knowledge obtained through learning achieved outside the formal education and training system. It is made up of work and life experience including paid and volunteer work, and skills attained through leisure pursuits using musical, mechanical or linguistic abilities.

RPL recognises any prior knowledge and experience and measures it against the qualification in which candidates are enrolled. Candidates may not need to complete a whole training program if they already possess 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 possess save time by not having to attend any, or a reduced number of, classes and completing unnecessary work save money on textbooks and other learning material complete your qualification more quickly advance to a higher level qualification in a shorter time if you so wish

Some terms you need to understand It is important that you understand the following term so that you can fill out your RPL application properly.

Competence Competence is the demonstration of any skills and knowledge you have gained through your life and work experiences and includes any training 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 leads to an overall achievement or demonstration of competence). Each of these elements is further broken down into a set of performance criteria which gives 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.

of 262 © Department of Education and Training 2008 Version 1, December 2008 MNM20305 – Certificate II in Metalliferous Mining Operations (Processing) Section 5 – Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation 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 have the required skills and knowledge to meet the industry standard.

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 in which you wish to be recognised.

Being prepared for how the assessments will occur 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 jobs you have had in the past (paid or unpaid) and where these took place.

2. If you have certificates from any training courses you have completed, it is a good idea to bring certified copies of these along with you to interview.

3. Bring 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 or work history  certificates/results of assessment  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.

You may use any other documents to support your claim.

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 in your supporting documentation (as identified in Section 6). You may need authorisation to use some of your evidence with your supervisor, so it is always best to check the privacy and confidentiality policies of your organisation. Client names should be deleted and financial figures and/or other personal details should be blacked out and made unidentifiable.

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 the following 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.) 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 Step 1 – Self- evaluation 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. MNM20305 – Certificate II in Metalliferous Mining Operations (Processing) Section 5 – Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation

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 During this conversation, you will be required to answer questions interview with the relating to your work experience. This questioning forms part of the assessor 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 This is your opportunity to demonstrate your level of competence on a demonstration of practical level. The assessment will focus on the skills required in the your skills 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.

Your assessor will need to confirm your previous work experience with someone (such as your supervisor or employer) who can vouch for Step 4 – your skills over a period of time. Provision of They will contact the referees you have provided as part of the further supporting candidate information. evidence 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. MNM20305 – Certificate II in Metalliferous Mining Operations (Processing) Section 5 – Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation

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. MNM20305 – Certificate II in Metalliferous Mining Operations (Processing) Section 5 – Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation
