Q. How does RPL Assess work?
A. RPL Assess is designed to provide a consistent, valid and transparent RPL approach. All too often assessors' judgments on RPL evidence vary.

Q. Do I get instructions on how to ‘make it work’?
A. Yes, please refer to our User’s Guide
Q. Can the RTO assessor decide on the value of evidence?
A. Yes, You're in control. An essential step in the RPL process asks the assessor to assign a numeric value to each item of evidence. The assessor may accept or reject the RPL Assess recommendations.
Q. How does the 100 points idea work?
A. The RPL Assess system allows you to easily and quickly assign your numerically valued evidence against each Performance Criteria, Performance Evidence and Knowledge Evidence.
The RPL Assess system tracks this process with a live barometer/sliding scale. When the barometer reaches 100 points, a satisfactory result is achieved - move to the next criteria.

Q. I don't usually assess a RPL application in such detail. Isn't 100 points for every criterion 'over the top'?
A. The Rules of Evidence and the Principles of Assessment require RTOs to confirm a satisfactory performance standard against each aspect of the unit of competency - just like any other form of assessment.
RPL Assess captures and manages this process online. It creates a tangible and measurable record of how the assessor arrived at their assessment judgment.

Q. Will this RPL approach pass audit?
A. There can never be a guarantee. In fact, you should be wary of developers offering an audit guarantee. We have an exceptional track record, passing multiple ASQA audits without alteration or comment.
