Not everyone follows the same path in life to develop a fulfilling career. For some individuals, defining their path means a rigorous and carefully planned education. They secure degrees and enter their desired workforce directly to begin moving up the ladder. Others build their careers on a mixture of experience, formal learning, on-the-job training, and more. They learn as they go and develop over the years.
When the time or desire arrives to step up to the next level of their career, this latter group may discover they need to obtain qualifications to demonstrate an ability to take on new responsibilities. When these individuals turn to an RTO for help, sending them through training courses to learn what they already know isn't always the right choice. Instead, offering your students a path to achieving an RPL through a formal assessment yields a more direct route to new career options.
This process can be tricky to navigate. With the potential for audits of your procedures as well, you must be sure to follow all the proper procedures. Many RTO providers have avoided RPLs in the past, but did you know it is a requirement to offer them? To help make expanding your RTO easier and to provide better transparency, there is now an online assessment system for the RPL process ready to help: RPL Assess. A cloud-based platform designed with your needs in mind, it streamlines everything around completing an RPL assessment.
Taking your RPL assessment efforts online
Compliance is a critical and often misunderstood component of an RPL assessment, and it usually intimidates RTO operators into avoiding or minimising their RPL system to focus on other training. It is true that a rigorous record of a student's submitted evidence and the assessor's judgement of that evidence is essential. Without it, it's impossible to know if an RTO is approving qualified students, and that is why audits are so important.
RPL Assess implement an innovative 100-point scoring system for use with every criterion within an RPL unit. Your trainers can access the information in an online environment that tracks and maps each student's progression and the assessor's score. The ultimate result is a record that, combined with the correct training procedures, can reduce issues with audits while accelerating students to new career heights.
