Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Assessment Tool Kit
MEM30205 Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade (Mechanical Fitter)This RPL Assessment Tool Kit has been developed by the Western Australian Department of Education and Training, in consultation with industry, as a resource to assist RPL Assessors by providing a set of quality assessment tools, which can be used to conduct whole-of-qualification RPL. This kit also contains information which can be provided to the candidate.
This kit should be customised to suit the needs of the candidate, employer/industry or Assessor and should reflect the purpose for which it is being used.
It is recommended that prior to using this kit for the first time, and after any modifications or contextualisation, this RPL Assessment Tool Kit be validated by the user to ensure it meets the required Australian Qualification Training Framework Standards (AQTF), relevant Training Package requirements and Registered Training Organisation (RTO) policies.
A task-based model for RPLA process for RPL has been developed that promotes holistic, task-based assessment, and which focuses on relating assessment activities to actual job tasks. The intention of this model is to streamline and simplify recognition processes for prospective candidates. This RPL Assessment Tool Kit has been developed to support this task-based model.
The focus of the new streamlined holistic assessment process is to focus on demonstrated skills and knowledge and is not reliant on documentary evidence as the main source of evidence.

MEM30205 Certificate in Engineering – Mechanical Trade (Mechanical Fitter)Section 1 – Assessor’s Information
Explanation of RPL documentsa) Interview Question Bank and Recording Sheets (Section 3): The interview question
bank is the second stage of the process, in which the Assessor and the candidate confirm the knowledge by discussing a series of questions. Each of these questions includes a series of Key Points, which may assist the Assessor in guiding the discussions.
b) Practical Tasks and Observation Recording Sheets (Section 4): These tools are designed to guide the Assessor and candidate through a workplace observation, proving the candidate’s ability to conduct the specific tasks and skills required for recognition of competence in the particular area.
c) Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation Forms (Section 5): This document is for the candidate to assess their suitability for RPL process, by asking them to consider each of the points and assessing their ability against the task. It has been broken into smaller skill groups, clustering like activities together to enable ease of completion. It is then reinforced by the candidate’s supervisor’s comments, both against tasks and as a summary for each group. This serves as third party validation of the candidate’s claims.
d) Third Party Report and Supporting Documentation (if applicable) (Section 6): The third party verification report is provided for referees, for example the supervisor, to confirm the candidate’s skills and experience in the qualification/occupation. This is particularly useful in addressing employability skill requirements. It is important to note that third party reports are not always available and it is recommended that Assessors use their professional judgement to determine if this is a requirement.
e) Mapping Document (Section 7): This tool demonstrates how each of the documents reflects the units of competency in the particular Cluster/Skill Set.

Section 3
Interview Question Bank and
Recording Sheets
This section contains questions the Assessor may ask the candidate while documenting their conversation during the RPL interview.
Assessor’s InstructionsIt is not intended that every question for each competency be asked or discussed during the conversation. Only questions related to those competencies that the initial documentary review has failed to fully address are required.
Each question provides key points to look for in the candidate’s responses. You may wish to use these key points to formulate questions of your own, contextualise, or rephrase the suggested questions to suit the candidate’s particular work situation.
On the Recording Sheets, place a tick next to each key point as it is addressed by the candidate during the conversation. By doing this, you are recording what you have heard the candidate say during the interview.
Page 22 of 261 © Department of Education and Training 2009Version 1, May 2023
MEM30205 Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade (Mechanical Fitter)Section 3 – Interview Question Bank and Recording Sheets
Use the Assessor’s Comments section next to each question to provide further details about the context of the discussion or other key points and examples the candidate has discussed that may be relevant in confirming competence.
It is important to remember that the notes taken during the questioning interview are important evidence and should be retained as part of the candidate’s assessment records.

What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?RPL is the acknowledgment of skills and knowledge obtained through learning achieved outside the formal education and training system and includes work and life experience including paid and volunteer work and skills attained through leisure pursuits such as musical, mechanical or linguistic abilities.
RPL recognises any prior knowledge and experience and measures it against the qualification in which students are enrolled. The individual may not need to complete all of a training program if he or she already possesses some of the competencies taught in the program.
Why you should apply for RPLIf you apply for RPL and your application is successful you could:
reduce or eliminate the need for any training in skills and knowledge you already have
save time by not needing to attend any or a reduced number of classes and completing unnecessary work
save money because you will not have to buy textbooks and other learning material
complete your qualification in a shorter time
advance to a higher level qualification in a shorter time if desired.
Some terms you need to understandIt is important that you understand the following term to assist you with your RPL application.
Competence
Competence is the demonstration of skills and knowledge that you have gained through life and work experiences as well as any training that you have successfully completed that can be matched against a set of industry performance standards referred to as units of competency. These units are grouped together to form a specific industry qualification, within the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF).
Each unit of competency is divided into elements (a set of activities that lead to an overall achievement or demonstration of competence). Each of these elements is further broken down into a set of performance criteria which give a more detailed description of the skills and knowledge you need to be able to demonstrate.
Matching your evidence against each of the elements/performance criteria will help you to reach your qualification more quickly.

MEM30205 Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade (Mechanical Fitter)Section 5 – Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
How to prepare for your RPL assessmentIn order for your skills to be formally recognised as part of a national qualification, Assessors must make sure that you (the candidate) have the required skills and knowledge to meet the industry standard as specified in the relevant Training Package.
You must be involved in the RPL process so that all the experience, skills and knowledge you have gained over time can be correctly identified and suitably demonstrated. This evidence is gathered and used in recognition of all or some of the units for the qualification you wish to gain.
All assessment requirements will be discussed with you in advance and you will be given the opportunity to ask questions and clarify requirements. Being prepared for the assessment process and knowing what you need to provide can save you valuable time and ensure that the RPL assessment is as simple and stress-free as possible.
Here are some tips to make the application process and interview easier for you.
1. Your Assessor will ask you to talk about your work roles and your employment history.
Bring a copy of your résumé. You might like to write down any work you have done in the past (paid or unpaid) and where this took place.
2. If you have certificates from any training courses you have completed, bring along either certified copies or the originals to the interview with the Assessor and they can make a copy of them.
3. Bring along any other documentation that you think would support your claim that you have done this work over time.
The following is a list of some of the documents you can provide as examples of your work history:
brief CV
certificates/results of assessment
any licences
tickets held, eg forklift, crane
photographs of work undertaken
diaries/task sheets/job sheets/logbooks
site training records
site competencies held record
membership of relevant professional associations
hobbies/interests/special skills outside work
references/letters from previous employers/supervisors
industry awards
Page 130 of 261 © Department of Education and Training 2023Version 1, May 2023
MEM30205 Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade (Mechanical Fitter)Section 5 – Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
any other documentation that may demonstrate your trade or industry experience or support your claim.
Depending on where you have worked and what the work may have included, you may or may not have documentary evidence. Do not be put off if you do not have documentary evidence, as the Assessor will work with you during the assessment process.
4. Think about who you would consider to be your workplace contact or referee.
Is your employer happy to support your aim to become qualified?
Would you feel comfortable if the Assessor contacted your current workplace or previous workplace/s to validate your skills and spoke to your supervisor/s or employer/s?
5. You will need to supply the contact details of work referees who can confirm your skills in the industry.
Think about who the best person to confirm your skill level would be.
Think about current or recent supervisors or employers who have observed your work and who would be able to confirm your previous work skills and experience. The Assessor will need to contact them.
6. You can speak with your Assessor about other ways you can show your skills for the trade or industry in which you are seeking recognition.
These could include letters from employers, records of any training courses or professional development sessions attended, employers or clients in related industries or government agencies, acknowledgements, workplace forms (as long as there are no confidentially issues – see below) or any other relevant documents.
Confidentiality issuesIt is important that sensitive information is not included as part of your supporting documentation (as identified in Section 6 and any other documentation you wish to use as evidence). You may need authorisation from your supervisor to use some of your evidence, so it is always best to check the privacy and confidentiality policies of the organisation. Client names should be deleted and financial figures or other personal details should be blacked out and made unidentifiable.

MEM30205 Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade (Mechanical Fitter)Section 5 – Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
The four steps in the RPL assessment processOnce your training organisation has provided you with the information you need to apply for RPL, you need to follow these four steps in order to complete the process.
Step 1 – Self-Evaluation
Before you decide to apply for RPL, you need to assess your current competence for one or several units of competency.
Complete the candidate’s information and self-evaluation forms provided with as much information of your previous work experience as you can.
This will allow for an initial assessment of your experience and a check to see whether you can demonstrate the required skills and knowledge. You can discuss this with an RPL Assessor if you want.
You must be able to provide evidence against the elements/performance criteria for the relevant unit/s of competency.
It is not enough to simply state that you possess the skills and knowledge required. You must be able to demonstrate competence.
This is your opportunity to provide as much proof as you can of the variety of experience you have had. You should supply examples of your work history if you have any. (See Tip 3 above.)
Depending on the trade or industry you have worked in, you may or may not have documentary evidence available. This should not deter you from seeking RPL, as your Assessor will work with you throughout the RPL process.
You will also need to supply the contact details of work referees who can confirm your skills in the industry.
You will also be provided with a list of suggested evidence that you could use to demonstrate that you are competent in a particular unit or units of competency. This list is a guide only. If you have other suitable evidence to support your claim for RPL then you are encouraged to share this with your Assessor.
If you do not believe that you have any suitable evidence, then you should discuss your options with your Assessor.
Once you have completed the self-evaluation and made the decision that you would like to continue with the RPL process, make an appointment for an interview and enrol for RPL.
Note: It is possible to gain RPL for an entire qualification.
Page 132 of 261 © Department of Education and Training 2023Version 1, May 2023
MEM30205 Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade (Mechanical Fitter)Section 5 – Candidate Information and Self-Evaluation Forms
Step 2 – Enrolment and interview with the Assessor
An interview with an Assessor who understands your industry will be organised for you. They will review – usually with you – the information and supporting documentation you have provided and match up your skills to the units/subjects in the qualification.
During your RPL interview, your Assessor will discuss with you your self-evaluation and any evidence you have provided.
It is at this point that you will be able to identify any previous work experience and discuss this with your Assessor.
During this conversation, you will be required to answer questions relating to your work experience. This questioning forms part of the assessment, as it will identify your current knowledge and skills regarding the area of industry in which you are applying for recognition.
If you are currently enrolled in a training course relating to this qualification, it is important that you let your trainer know that you intend to apply for RPL, then nominate the units you have selected for RPL so that the required documentation can be processed and your application can go ahead.
It is at this stage that a decision will be made whether you are able to proceed to the next step or whether you need to undergo gap training.
Step 3 – Practical demonstration of your skills
Your Assessor will organise with you and your employer to conduct a practical skills test at your workplace (if appropriate) or other suitable location.
This is your opportunity to demonstrate your level of competence on a practical level. The assessment will focus on the skills required in the work activities which relate to the qualification in which you are applying for recognition.
Your Assessor will identify the skills they want you to demonstrate by asking you to complete certain tasks.
Step 4 – Provision of further supporting evidence
Your Assessor will need to confirm your previous work experience with someone (such as your supervisor or employer) who can vouch for your skills over a period of time.
They will contact the referees you have provided as part of the candidate information.
Your Assessor may ask you to give your selected workplace contacts or previous employers the third party report to complete. Authentication of these reports by the Assessor would then be required.

After the assessmentAfter the assessment, your Assessor will advise you of the units of competency you have successfully completed. You will also be advised whether you have gained the full qualification or if gaps have been identified during the recognition process. If you do have skill gaps, these may be addressed through additional training.
