Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and implement a recognition strategy that may be used for recognition of current competencies against workplace or industry criteria, or recognition of prior learning (RPL) leading to completion of units of competency or qualifications. It requires the ability to prepare information and advice on recognition, to identify evidence-gathering opportunities and to evaluate a recognition-based assessment process.It also requires that all systems and instruments be validated by peers, industry or employers to determine fitness for purpose. It applies to those who work under limited supervision to develop procedures and documentation for recognition-based assessment for an organisation.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine the purpose and parameters of the recognition process to be applied
  • 1.1 Identify the benchmarks to be used for measurement and recording of the achievement of competence
  • 1.2 Determine efficient and effective means of collecting evidence from individual candidates, organisations and third parties to identify current skill levels and/or prior learning
  • 1.3 Identify the needs of individual candidates who apply for recognition services
  • 1.4 Respect the confidentiality requirements of candidates in relation to recognition processes
  • 1.5 Establish the parameters set by the policies and procedures of the training organisation and NVR/AQTF requirements
2. Analyse the criteria required to meet units of competency and qualifications framework
  • 2.1 Interpret units of competency and assessment requirements, in order to clarify requirements for evidence
  • 2.2 Analyse foundation skills to ensure that information relating to aptitude and workplace learning may be captured as relevant
  • 2.3 Nominate the sources and types of evidence that comply with the rules of evidence and assessment requirements, for each unit of competency
  • 2.4 Construct evidence grids that enable candidates to see that their evidence can be used across several units of competency
  • 2.5 Determine the direct and indirect evidence that is required to meet all components of the standards
  • 2.6 Conduct a risk assessment of different types of evidence that may be put forward and assign controls to ameliorate risks
  • 2.7 Determine the requirements for third party reports and the degree to which other evidence must be supplied to validate these
3. Prepare a recognition package for applicants
  • 3.1 Develop information that meets the needs of organisational managers who need to know how recognition processes will be applied
  • 3.2 Prepare advisory information that can guide candidates to make informed choices about recognition services and outcomes and explain organisational policies and procedures for recognition in terms readily understood by the applicant
  • 3.3 Document the performance requirements for a unit of competency for direct applicant candidates and/or employees in an organisation
  • 3.4 Set out clearly the evidence that must be provided to meet the criteria of units and/or evidence collection tools
  • 3.5 Use elements and performance criteria to develop plain and simple checklists for candidate self-evaluation
  • 3.6 Document exemplars and evidence lists to support candidates in their application for recognition
  • 3.7 Provide advice and support to workplace managers, to facilitate collection of workplace evidence or for preparation of third party reports
4. Monitor the recognition-based assessment for a unit of competency
  • 4.1 Ensure that all recognition tools and systems are validated by peers and industry
  • 4.2 Provide guidance and support to assessors who are engaged in recognition services
  • 4.3 Develop and provide marker’s guides, evidence guides and templates in consultation with all assessors who undertake recognition assessments
  • 4.4 Monitor the evidence collection process for a unit of competency to ensure that the rules of evidence are met and risk controls are applied
  • 4.5 Audit decision making in assessment against organisational policies and procedures to ensure that objective and fair decisions are reached
  • 4.6 Monitor feedback provided to the candidate and provide guidance to candidates where full competency against criteria is not met
  • 4.7 Determine the need for gap training and advise candidates, and/or employing organisation, of the requirements to meet full competence against units or qualifications
5. Evaluate the recognition assessment, the procedures and outcomes
  • 5.1 Conduct a review of the advice to candidates and employers
  • 5.2 Review exemplar evidence lists in terms of their applicability and the evidence generated
  • 5.3 Gather and analyse candidate and organisational client feedback as part of a continuous improvement cycle
  • 5.4 Gather feedback from the candidate and/or the employing organisation on recognition services and outcomes
