Recognition of Prior Learning

Credits are available for the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). All students are offered the opportunity to participate in RPL upon application.  Skills and knowledge that you have gained through work and life experience and other unrecognised training can be formally recognised. RPL is recommended as an option where individuals have been working in a relevant job role for at least 2 years.

Where RPL is granted, the amount of training (duration) and course fees will be varied accordingly.  Please refer to the Student Handbook and Course Information for more information.

TechKnowledgey will work with the relevant workplace manager (e.g. Learning & Development Coordinator):

at Pre-Enrolment, to confirm –

• the relevance of the student’s current role to the course and the qualification;
• the suitability and availability of required workplace resources for the course;
• the employer’s commitment to support the student and the Workplace Project Mentor (WPM), as they participate in workplace-based assessment;

at Enrolment, to –

• review workplace needs;
• schedule training dates and venues; and

during the course of the student’s enrolment, to –

• facilitate communication between the WPM, the employer and the student, where required.

TechKnowledgey will work with the nominated Workplace Project Mentor (WPM):

• at Pre-Enrolment, to confirm –
  • the WPM’s commitment to support the student, as they undertake their assessments; and

• during the course of the student’s enrolment, to –
  • facilitate communication between the WPM, the employer and the student, where required.

Throughout the course of the student’s enrolment, the WPM will:

• oversee the development of the student’s workplace-based Action Learning Project (ALP);
• offer advice and assistance, where required, regarding development of the ALP; and
• provide Third Party Observation Reports to TechKnowledgey, confirming the relevance and consistency of skills demonstrated in the workplace by the student.

The WPM will complete and sign the relevant Third Party Observation Report for each unit undertaken by the student.  The student will include the Third Party Observation Report with their submission of the completed Performance Evidence Assessment Tool (PEAT) report for the unit.  (The student may wish to show the completed PEATreport to their WPM, prior to finalisation of the Third Party Observation Report.)

The Third Party Observation Report will be used as supplementary evidence, as only the qualified assessor will be making a decision on competency for the unit.  However, the assessor will use the Third Party Observation Report as evidence to support this decision.
