It is recommended that participants who wish to apply for RPL present a folio of evidence to support his or her claim. If a participant has a statement of attainment for modules or units of competency as identified in the course transition table (Appendix 2) these modules or units of competence will be recognised. If a student has a statement of attainment from another RTO for units included in this preapprenticeship, those units must be recognised and automatic credit granted. Assessment strategies developed by RTOs must be consistent with the requirements of Standard 1, Element 1.5 of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) 2010 Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing (or Initial) Registration. Strategies should also include arrangements to advise prospective students and facilitate the RPL processes. Course assessment strategies must: meet the requirements of the relevant Training Package or accredited course be conducted in accordance with the principles of assessment and the rules of evidence meet workplace and where relevant, regulatory requirements be systematically validated.
