Background
Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) in conjunction with Skill Resource Management Systems Pty Ltd is offering RPL workshops as an in-house program.
RPL has been abused, confused and underused, but it is now becoming an important strategy for dealing with skills shortages and for encouraging potential future clients of RTOs. Over one full day, this workshop reviews some of the dilemmas of RPL and explores strategies for RPL in VET, including:
- The fundamentals of competency-based assessment and RPL
- Meeting the requirements of Training Packages and the AQTF
- Developing RPL assessment strategies
- Meeting the needs of candidates
- Developing RTO policies and procedures for RPL
The Facilitator
Dr Russell Docking has been conducting workshops on competency-based training and assessment throughout Australia since 1990. He has contributed to the ongoing development of competency-based strategies through commissioned research, workshops, conferences, review and evaluation projects, and journal publications. Russell has also prepared a number of texts for the WA Department of Education and Training on competency-based assessment, assessment validation, and reasonable adjustment in assessment for students with disability.
Russell keeps in close touch with practitioner needs and concerns through his work as an RTO auditor and as an accreditation reviewer for the WA Training Accreditation Council.
Audience
For all trainers and assessors who are looking to improve their knowledge and skills in using RPL in a VET context.
