Stay Compliant with ASQA Audits: Choose the RPL Assess Software Solution as Your RPL Assessment System

 

How does your registered training organisation feel about RPL? You might change your tune if you had the right RPL assessment software in place.

Most RTOs don’t like dealing with recognition of prior learning, for a few different reasons. First, while the Australian Skills Quality Authority requires all RTOs to offer RPL, most would rather focus on the actual training and learning opportunities they offer. RPL assessment is usually a less lucrative avenue for RTOs than training—though it can certainly expand the business offerings and reach of an RTO.

Secondly, ASQA auditors just tend to make RPL especially difficult. There is a feeling among registered training organisations that auditors are constantly ‘moving the goal posts’ for RPL compliance. The problem lies with the assessment of prior learning activities. Because prior learning can take a lot of different forms—formal, informal, work experience, life experience, self-learning, etc.—it can be extremely difficult to assess it with any sort of consistency or objectivity. As a result, it’s not uncommon for an RTO’s RPL assessment solutions or tools to be deemed compliant during one audit and then flagged as non-compliant a year or two later.

How RPL Assess Can Help Your RTO

On the one hand, you cannot ignore a ‘non-compliance’ finding from an ASQA audit. Your RTO can face harsh consequences if it fails to offer RPL, or if the RPL services it does offer do not meet the required standard. You need to find a way to bring your RPL assessments into compliance. The question is, how can you do it without spending a lot of time and money on a service that is probably a secondary consideration for your business?

RPL Assess is the answer. A new RPL assessment software solution, RPL Assess is designed to make things easier for RTOs that have always struggled with recognition of prior learning. With RPL Assess, it is far easier to collect evidence of student learning, score the materials in question and determine whether the student deserves recognition of his or her past learning. With thousands of units and dozens of industries represented, RPL Assess can provide the RPL assessment solution that your RTO needs.

By using RPL Assess as your RPL assessment system, you can also find your way back to ASQA compliance. We developed this software carefully based on the latest ASQA standards for RPL assessment. Today, we are proud to say that our audit success is second to none. With RPL Assess, it is incredibly simple to create a profile, collect and store student materials (such as documents, certificates, photos, video and audio files), weigh and score those materials as you see fit, prepare a final assessment, and store everything in the system for future audits.

Improve Your Audit Chances with a New RPL Assessment System

RPL Assess cannot offer an audit guarantee. What we can guarantee is an RPL assessment solution with an intuitive interface and a lot of transparency. The system will map and collate your every move, making it a breeze for auditors to go through and see which student evidence you attached to different points of performance and knowledge criteria.
