Purpose
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the formal recognition of a person’s current skills and knowledge, regardless of how, when or where the learning occurred. This Policy outlines the approach Orion applies to RPL.
Principles
• Recognition of prior learning is important as it allows students to gain entry to or faster completion towards a new qualification.
• Recognition of prior learning needs to be genuine and adequately assessed.
• Where a student fails to meet components of the RPL process gap training will be provided.
Management Approach
After being provided information on the process and supporting documentation, the onus is on the student to collect and record evidence for each unit of competency. Where necessary the Trainer and our training support team are available to guide the student through the process. If after submission of all completed documentation the assessor determines that the evidence is insufficient, the student needs to collect more evidence and resubmit to the Trainer for assessing or else undertake “gap” training and assessment.
If the evidence is sufficient a Qualification or Statement of Attainment will be awarded to the student.
