Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and implement a customised recognition plan that may be used for recognition of prior learning (RPL) leading to completion of training products that are nationally recognised. It requires the ability to follow organisational approaches to prepare information and advice on recognition, and to identify evidence-gathering opportunities.The unit applies to experienced vocational education and training (VET) assessors who work under limited supervision and undertake assessor-led, customised recognition-based assessment for an organisation.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
