RPL Overview

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that assesses your experience, knowledge, skills and prior learning to determine and acknowledge the extent to which that individual is currently competent against the standards of the unit of competency for which the individual is seeking recognition.

You may seek RPL for any or all of the units of competency comprising the BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety course.

RPL is an assessment only pathway. It allows for the recognition of current skills and knowledge to support an application for a nationally recognised qualification.

If the evidence provided for RPL is satisfactory for the relevant units for skills gap of the qualification then you will be deemed Competent, and awarded the BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety qualification with evidence of having completed the other units required for this qualification, where Credit Transfers will be granted.

If you achieve competence in less than the required units of the BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety you will be awarded a Statement of Attainment for the units you have demonstrated competence in.

In many cases the RPL process can be exhausting, frustrating and at times stressful for both the applicants and the RTO. To get the best out of RPL, both the RTO and the applicant need to be working towards the same goal:

You as the applicant want your prior skills, knowledge and experience to be recognised and to avoid any unnecessary work for areas they already feel competent in.

HBA as the RTO wants to ensure we do not breach the compliance requirements placed upon us as doing so could lead to serious consequences such as suspension or cancellation of our RTO status.

The aim of this RPL Application is to supply a tool that allows you to put your best case forward, and for HBA to be confident in the evidence supplied. Below are a few simple guidelines that may help both sides understand the process and needs from the others perspective.

VALIDITY

Saying something is simply not enough.

Documents like resumes are merely saying something in writing (statements) that need to be backed up by supporting evidence. They give us a clear picture of what you are currently doing and may have done in the past however anything you say you have done in your resume must be supported with hard evidence.

HARD EVIDENCE

If it isn’t in writing, it doesn’t count.

All evidence needs to be documented, and may include items such as testimonies, reference letters, third party reports, as long as they are recorded and validated.

CURRENCY

Everything needs to be current (up-to-date).

Currency requires that evidence is preferably from the last (2) two years, and should not go back more than (5) five years. Please also note that evidence must be independently verified to ensure the evidence is valid.

OVERSEAS, NON-ACCREDITED, AND UNIVERSITY QUALIFICATIONS

These may not be measurable against Australian Qualifications.

The trap here is that these qualifications may have different terminology, components, learning outcomes, or elements that we are simply unable to accurately map against the units in a VET course. If we can’t map it, we can’t award it.

YOUR OWN WORK

Your evidence needs to demonstrate your work, experience, knowledge and ability against the training package requirements. What your company or another organisation counts may not be enough or correct for the training package requirements.
