  1. Recognition The Polytechnic Recognition Process Acknowledgement: Includes material adapted from the VELG RPL Workshops Jan 2010 and Skillsfirst RPL material

  2. Recognition... a definition RPL is: “An assessment process that assesses an individual’s non–formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual has achieved the required learning outcomes, competency outcomes, or standards for entry to, and /or partial or total completion of, a qualification.” From: User’s guide to the Essential conditions and Standards for Continuing Registration 2010, Page 74.

  3. Recognition – Filling the Bucket Evidence Standards

  4. The process is: • Flexible and user friendly • Interactive • Streamlined • Individualised • Based on a holistic view of competency in the workplace • Based on assessment methods such as observation, questioning/interviews, practical tasks

  5. Applicants will not... • Have to gather excessive reams of paper based evidence as a portfolio • Receive detailed documents such as the qualification/course unit outlines as a guide for evidence collection • Have to map their evidence to the elements and performance criteria • Involve language, literacy and analytical skills above that required for the qualification/course.

  10. Changing the Recognition Mindset .. • Concerns we have to deal with... It’s easier to damn well do the training rather than go through the Recognition process! In the past people have had to have truck loads of records, over long periods of time ... months later nothing had happened Recognition is the easy way out – those people who get it don’t deserve it. It took me 3 years to get my qualification!

  11. Build confidence with potential students and industry/business...

  12. Changing the Recognition mindset... • Barriers from teachers may include ... I look at their previous qualifications and talk to them and just know whether or not they’re competent. Recognition is too much work for teachers – luckily most students give up because they have to gather up so much paperwork! I can give them all the assessments we use in training to see if they are competent or not.

  13. Professional Judgement in Recognition

  14. Manage the risks ...

  15. Sound professional judgement comes through ....

  16. Is there a difference between professional judgement... ...when assessment is part of training and when assessment is by Recognition?
