How does RPL assessment differ from the other general assessment?
When assessing candidates for RPL, they are assessed against the same unit standards and exit level outcomes of qualifications using the same assessment criteria as for other full-time learners. What is demanded of a full-time learner has to be met fully by an RPL learner during assessment.
Assessment of RPL learners can be on a one-to-one basis or even on a group basis just like full time learners. Certificates obtained through RPL should be the same as those obtained through full-time learning so as to prevent discrimination of the RPL learners.
