If I cannot speak English, can I pursue RPL?
Yes you can, depending on the requirements of the qualification or unit standards you want recognition for. The RPL policy states that:
In some instances, training needs to include an explicit component on language bias, where language may become a hindrance to assessment. Particularly where candidates make use of colloquialism for work processes, equipment and tools. Where demonstration of skills does not require formal language skills, assessors have to be sensitive to the use of words and terms common within a particular context.
