6、TThis RPL Assessor Kit is divided into sections to allow you to easily access only those sections you require at any given time. These sections are:SECTION A Assessor InformationYou need to read this information before conducting an assessment. It outlines the intent and processes surrounding this R
7、PL assessment and how it differs from assessment undertaken following formal training.SECTION B Candidate Information and Application FormsYou give this information to the candidate. It tells them about the assessment process as well as containing simple forms for the applicant to fill out. From the
8、 information provided by the candidate on these forms, you will be able to gain a general understanding of the skills and experience the candidate may have, as well as potential referee contacts. SECTION C Competency ConversationYou use this section to determine and record candidate competence via a
9、 competency conversation. In other words, these questions guide your conversation with the applicant and assist in your assessment of their competence. The notes you take about this conversation are important evidence for assessment.SECTION D Practical Tasks and Observation Recording SheetsYou use t
10、his section to assess competencies through a practical demonstration of the candidates skills. It contains practical tasks/scenarios on the outcomes required to determine competency and a place to record your observation. The notes you take are important evidence for assessment.SECTION E Resources f
11、or Practical TasksYou use this section to access required resources for performing practical tasks and scenarios.SECTION F Third Party VerificationYou give this section to the referees to confirm the candidates skills and experience in this qualification/occupation. The referees may fill out the app
12、ropriate form and return to you to confirm your judgement. You may be able to complete this part of evidence gathering in person while at the workplace.SECTION G Assessment TablesYou use this table as a reference tool to see at a glance how units/elements of competency are assessed within the tool.
13、All the elements and performance criteria within the competency units are cross-matched in this table with a corresponding assessment question/task/scenario. This allows you to validate the assessment process against the qualification.RPL Assessor KitICP30705 Certificate III in Printing and Graphic

15、rtificate III in Printing and Graphic Arts (Print Finishing)Page 4 of 129Editable Version ADVICE FOR ASSESSORSThis RPL Assessor Kit streamlines the RPL assessment process for ICP30705 Certificate III in Printing and Graphic Arts (Print Finishing) by taking a practical approach to RPL and increasing
16、the use of on-site questioning and observation. This will assist in developing a “picture of the candidates skills and knowledge”. This picture can then be compared with industry standards enabling a determination of whether the candidate has achieved the required outcomes.IMPORTANT ASPECTS TO REMEM
17、BER:A sound knowledge of assessment and the qualification is essentialIt is important to have a good understanding of the competencies and qualification/s appropriate to the candidates goals. Assessing a single unit of competency is rarely cost or time effective. Where possible, effort should be mad
18、e to assess several units at the same time taking advantage of any commonality in content. This means looking at the whole picture of a particular job role as it happens in industry and assessing holistically. This saves valuable time in the assessment process. Assessment involves judgementThis tool
19、 encourages the use of a “competency conversation” to maximise the candidates opportunities to demonstrate competence. This is NOT an oral exam. It is about using the two or three holistic questions provided to start a conversation with the candidate which draws out their actual individual experienc
20、es and relevant skills. In other words, it is about the assessor probing the candidate through a conversation to draw out further information on the candidates experience which may not be forthcoming due to nerves or confusion over technical terminology.The tool also provides observable tasks to all
21、ow candidates to demonstrate skills.Authentication/verification is integral to RPL assessmentIt is critical information gleaned from the interview and observation be confirmed with those who can vouch for the candidates skill over time. Supervisors would generally perform this role. Authentication m
22、ay also be done through conversation but it cannot be stressed enough that it is essential assessors take careful notes to back up and record their judgement.Recording assessment is critical Keep careful records of all aspects of conversations, skills demonstration or documentation viewed that suppo
23、rt the claim of prior learning. Remember the record is the document that makes sense of the assessment and why a particular judgment was made. Keeping detailed notes about the candidates response is vital, as is the rationale for judgement.The assessment record is a legal document and must be signed
24、, dated and stored according to requirements of the State Training Authority and the AQTF Standards for Registered Training Organisations.Assessor summaries and other quality assurance documentation from your own Registered Training Organisation will also be required.

Where possible, employability skills have been embedded within the bank of questions and practical assessment tasks in this RPL Ass
28、essor Kit. Therefore, assessors should make and document holistic judgements about a learners attainment of employability skills as part of the RPL assessment.

Interview about candidates document
46、ary informationReview the information provided by the candidate and arrange a time for both you and the candidate to discuss. Begin alignment of documentation and skills to the following qualification: ICP30705 CERTIFICATE III IN PRINTING AND GRAPHIC ARTS (PRINT FINISHING)The candidate will have the
47、 opportunity to discuss and identify previous experience with you. The available documents are step one in collecting information and you will need to determine which units of competency, if any, are fully covered at this stage. You use your own or your RTOs assessment recording forms to record this
48、 stage of the assessment.There may be instances where the candidate has little, or no, documentary information of industry experience. This is not a barrier to gaining recognition. This will just require you to rely on the questioning, practical assessment and referee validation phases of the RPL pr
