Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have some of the most of the knowledge and skills
covered in this learner’s guide because you have:
 been working for some time
 Already completed training in this area

If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are already competent in
a particular skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally recognized
so you don’t have to do the same training again. If you have a qualification or
Certificate of Competency from previous training, show it to your trainer. If the
skill you acquired is still current and relevant to the unit/s of competency they
may become part of the evidence you may present to RPL. If you are not sure
about the currency of your skills, discuss with your trainer.
At the end of this module is a Learner’s Diary. Use this diary to record
important date, jobs undertaken and other workplace events that will assist you
in providing further details to your trainer or assessor. A Record of Achievement
is also provided for your trainer to complete once you complete the module.
