RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING AND CREDIT TRANSFER

The underlying principle of Nationally Recognised Training is that a learner does not have to repeat training and assessment that has already been undertaken.

YCA has a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer Policies and Procedures and can be found at YCA’s website, which outlines in detail a process to be followed for granting recognition and credit transfer. This is supported through the RPL guidelines for this qualification which focus specifically on all units.

Learners are encouraged to apply for RPL prior to or immediately after formal enrolment but prior to the facilitated delivery of units to ensure that they do not miss any training opportunities offered should they be unsuccessful in the RPL process.

Credit Transfer relates to the recognition of learning achieved through formal education and training, and involves assessing a previously completed course or units to see if it provides equivalent learning or competency outcomes to those required within the current course of study. Learners must provide transcripts of results and/or statements of attainment for credit transfer to be assessed.

Where a learner is successful in the RPL or Credit Transfer (CT) application, the units to be undertaken and course duration will be adjusted accordingly.

Where RPL is granted, learners do not have to participate in further training and assessment for skills and knowledge that they already possess.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

A range of assessment methods employed by Yarra College Australia ensures that assessments are fair, valid, reliable and reasonable while ensuring that Yarra College Australia meets the requirements of the relevant Training Package and the rules of evidence. Assessments for this course have been designed for classroom-based face-to-face delivery and assessment.

Based on the assessment methods for each unit of competency, assessment styles incorporated by Yarra College Australia include a range of assessment tasks such as knowledge questions; research tasks; assessor observations; projects, which may include case studies, round tables and project portfolios; role-plays; undertaken at prescribed assessment schedules. Tasks will require in‐class work to evidence aspects of skills and knowledge as well as ensure a consistent approach to the unit of competency through continuous engagement and feedback.

  • Knowledge questions are designed to help the student demonstrate the knowledge which they have acquired during the unit
  • Research tasks are used in two ways. The first is to assess the student’s ability to conduct and analyse research/gather information and is in response to performance criteria or performance evidence. The second is to assess the student’s knowledge and is generally in response to knowledge evidence.
  • Assessor observations are used where the unit of competency requires that the student must be observed demonstrating the skills and knowledge that they have acquired during their course. These observations will be in person.
  • Projects are provided to help students demonstrate the knowledge and skills that they have developed during their course. Supporting templates and resources, including project portfolios, are provided to the student and marking guidance is provided to the assessor.
  • Round table discussions will be used for students to discuss their own real experiences and apply them in the context of the case study. Even though students may be participating in a project based on a case study business, they have a wealth of knowledge, experience and skills that they have each gathered throughout their lives that can be reflected on and applied in discussion with their peers and fellow students. These can then be discussed and applied to the project they are working on, making it more industry-realistic.

Assessments are developed based on principles of assessment and rules of evidence and address all of the unit’s performance criteria, performance and knowledge evidence. The assessment mapping table is provided in a separate document to the trainers/assessor
