Evidence Checklist
What Evidence May You Need?
Relevant evidence may include:
You do not need every document listed above. Evidence should relate directly to your responsibilities and the competencies being assessed.
Strong Evidence
What Makes Strong RPL Evidence?
Good evidence should demonstrate:
Relevance
The evidence clearly relates to the competency being assessed.
Sufficiency
There is enough evidence to demonstrate the required skills and responsibilities.
Authenticity
The assessor can verify that the work is genuinely yours.
Currency
The evidence demonstrates current or sufficiently recent competency.
A large portfolio is not automatically stronger. Relevant evidence that clearly shows your role, decisions and outcomes is more valuable.
Overseas Experience
Can Overseas Management Experience Be Used?
Relevant overseas experience may be considered where it demonstrates the required competencies and can be verified.
Overseas documents may require translation where necessary. Holding a senior position overseas does not automatically establish competency against the Australian qualification requirements.
Assessment Process
How the RPL Assessment Works
1
Experience Review
Your professional background and responsibilities are reviewed against the qualification.
2
Evidence Identification
Relevant workplace evidence is identified.
3
Assessment
The RTO assessor evaluates your evidence against the required competencies.
4
Additional Assessment
Where required, assessment may also involve further evidence, professional discussion, technical questions, third-party verification or workplace assessment.
5
Final Outcome
The Registered Training Organisation determines which competency requirements have been satisfied.
If gaps remain, additional evidence, assessment or gap training may be required.
