About this RPL Kit This kit is designed to help you compile evidence through a recognition process to achieve this qualification. This is a formal process that is based on a portfolio of evidence submitted by you, the student. You are going to work through the requirements of the qualification and gather: Evidence of prior training and qualifications Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Evidence of current competence Recognition of Current Competence (RCC) This is an “assessment only”pathway This is an “assessment only” pathway based on designed for candidates with relevant qualifications and/or business experience. You may be eligible for some but not all of the units that make up the qualification. So it is possible you are mixing the recognition process with some formal learning (components of a course). Quality portfolio preparation takes time We appreciate that evidence gathering and portfolio preparation takes some time. It is in your best interest to start planning, organising and get the process under way as quickly as possible. Planning, organisation and presentation are important This kit provides planning tools that guide the evidence gathering. Use these tools and tables to build up your planned evidence. Here are some tips to putting your portfolio together: Look for evidence that meets the requirements for multiple units of competency If you can demonstrate evidence that covers several units of competency, it will minimize time spent searching for and compiling multiple forms of evidence for each unit. Authenticity You need supporting evidence to authenticate that the products and processes you are submitting are indeed your work. Third party letters or references may be requested to support your portfolio. Recent evidence is preferred The assessor is looking for currency of competence so use recent projects as evidence. As a rule of thumb, evidence from the last two years is preferable and do not go back more than five years. This should be discussed with the assessor. Your academic training and qualifications may go back further than five years to demonstrate knowledge of vocational education and training. Label the evidence Complete the cover page, evidence summary matrix, provide an index and label the evidence. The assessor will not proceed unless the cover page and summary are submitted and the evidence is organised and labelled.

Gathering Evidence Contact with the Assessor If required, you can contact the Assessor by calling student services on (03) 8628 2500 to assist the evidence gathering process. The Assessor can help to: interpret the units of competency advise on matching evidence to the competencies clarify ways to organise the portfolio clarify the underpinning knowledge and skills required identify ways to fill gaps in experience and learning What will the Assessor be looking for in the assessment of the portfolio? The Assessor will take an integrated and holistic approach to assessment and is looking for: evidence of the specific evidence requirements for each unit of competency evidence of valid, current products that align to the units of competency, the performance criteria and evidence guide which can be authenticated as the work of the candidate evidence of valid, current processes that aligns to the units of competency, the performance criteria and evidence guide which can be authenticated as the work of the candidate evidence of the application of required skills and key competencies/employability skills What if I don’t achieve all competencies by the end of the portfolio appraisal? On submission of your portfolio, you will receive feedback from the Assessor. If there are gaps in evidence or a question arising from the quality of the evidence, authenticity or currency you will be contacted and given the opportunity to resubmit further evidence. You will have an agreed time from when you enrolled in the RPL process to complete all assessments with reasonable adjustments depending on your circumstances. The Assessor will sign off on the units of competency that have been achieved and the Statements of Attainment indicating partial completion or the full qualification will be issued. What sort of evidence should you provide? The Assessor is looking for specific evidence across the units of competency. The evidence will be made up of: 1. Products –that have been developed, documented and used by you. 2. Processes –evidence that shows “how” you do what performed tasks, conducted research or applied required knowledge and skills 3. Required knowledge and required skills –that demonstrate your understanding of theory, legislation, and the principles of business. Page 6 of 30 BSB51607 Diploma of Quality Auditing Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Kit Rules of Evidence Currency – relates to the age of collected evidence. Competency requires demonstration of current performance – therefore the evidence collected must be current/very recent. Try to find evidence which shows that you can perform the competency now. If all your evidence is 5 to 10 years in the past and you have not been active in recent years then currency of skills and knowledge is questioned. Validity –is when the process assesses what it claims to assess. Try to ensure that the evidence relates clearly and directly to the elements and performance criteria in each unit of competency. Check the overview of evidence and the specific evidence requirements if you are not sure if the products and processes are appropriate. Sufficiency –relates to the amount of evidence collected. The collection of sufficient evidence is necessary to ensure all aspects of the competency have been captured and to satisfy the need for repeatable performance. Supplementary sources of evidence may be necessary. Try to present enough evidence, not too much, not too little across the units of competency. The specific evidence requirements in each unit will indicate the minimum amount of evidence that must be submitted. Authenticity –relates to ensuring the evidence is from the candidate and not another person. The assessor needs to be satisfied the own work. Do not make things up and do not say that work done by someone else is yours. Provide evidence that the work is yours through third party letters of authentication or statutory declarations. Range –Try to collect a number of pieces of evidence that cover a range of contexts, locations and the times you have demonstrated the competencies. These explanations have been adapted from the TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package Glossary of Terms ©ANTA 2004 Examples of Evidence Curriculum Vitae and authenticated work history Qualifications (E.g- Vocational, Higher Education), Certificates of Attendance (Training Seminars) or Training records Products, Processes and examples of work (E.g- Strategic/Business/Marketing Plans, Procedures, Job Descriptions, Performance Appraisals, Coaching logs) Third party reports from verified and appropriate people, preferably from the workplace Work records that support your evidence (E.g- project files, emails, meeting notes, diaries) Reports, Assignments Page 7 of 30 BSB51607 Diploma of Quality Auditing Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Kit Putting the portfolio of evidence together Step 1: Start preparing the Summary of Evidence Matrix The matrix is an overview of your portfolio. Keep building this table as you continue evidence gathering. The Summary of Evidence Matrix must be submitted with the portfolio. Step 2: Start to fill in the Evidence Planner table–by unit of competency. Fill in the Evidence Planner table listing your evidence and explaining how it aligns to each units of competency that it addresses. Remember, some evidence will address more than one unit of competency. The Evidence Planner explanation will give the Assessor a better understanding of how the documents you submit meet the requirements of the unit and your understanding of the required knowledge and skills across the qualification. Read the units in detail this time clarifying your potential evidence against: the elements, required skills/knowledge and performance criteria. Check the range of variables to clarify the language and terms and the application of performance criteria in your own work context. Step 3: Review and finalise your evidence You should now have your evidence organised and be able to see areas where the evidence might be weak. Organise the verification and third party letters. The Assessor will prefer to see letters on company stationery. Emails are not acceptable. The declaration forms in this kit can also be used. Step 4: Compile the portfolio Check the labels and organise the evidence. Do not send originals of qualifications; get copies certified as a true copy. Finalise the certified Summary of Evidence table with the explanations of your evidence in your own words. Finalise the Evidence Planner Matrix –the ‘at a glance” summary pa the top of your portfolio. Open Training Institute will accept photocopies certified by anyone who is currently employed as: an accountant (they must be a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants, or the National Institute of Accountants, or the Association of Taxation and Management Accountants or Registered Tax Agents). a bank manager, but not a manager of a bank travel centre Page 8 of 30 BSB51607 Diploma of Quality Auditing Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Kit a a a a a a a a a barrister, solicitor or patent attorney credit union branch manager commissioner for declaration Justice of the Peace medical practitioner (doctor) police officer in charge of a police station, or of the rank of sergeant and above postal manager pharmacist principal of an Australian secondary college, high school or primary school Step 5: Submit the portfolio Presentation of your portfolio is important.
