The RPL Process
The SAQA RPL policy states: "there is no fundamental difference in the assessment of previously acquired skills and knowledge and the assessment of skills and knowledge acquired through a current learning programme. The candidate seeking credits for previously acquired skills and knowledge must still comply with all the requirements as stated in unit standards and qualifications. The difference lies in the route to the assessment. A and S Training's RPL assessment mainly consists of Questioning and Workplace Observation as methods of gathering the evidence to prove the candidate's competence. This means that the candidate will most probably be observed while he/she is working, and his/her line manager will complete a form indicating what the person can do. The person will also have to complete either a knowledge test, case study questions or an assignment (or a combination of these) in order for the assessor to check that the knowledge or theory needed to use the skills properly is up to date. With A and S Training there is a specific procedure which needs to be followed in order for the RPL assessment process to take place. It looks like this: A prospective candidate, who knows that he/she most probably qualifies for RPL applies to A and S Training Consultancy by completing the relevant Application.
Once the file has been reviewed and approved, the potential candidate meets with an RPL Advisor, who explains the skills and knowledge requirements and checks whether the person does, in fact, have these at present. This is called the Screening process. If the person has some major gaps in knowledge and skills, he/she is advised to attend training to fill these gaps and come back later for RPL. If the person meets requirements, then the process is put in motion. The successful candidate will be given thorough preparation for the assessment which lies ahead and all concerns which the person might have been ironed out. Then the evidence collection phase starts. At this point the Evidence Facilitator in the workplace (who might be the line manager) is trained on how to assist the candidate to collect the required evidence. The evidence is collected over a period of time (which was agreed upon during assessment preparation) and this is all submitted to A and S Training Consultancy for formal assessment. The assessment is done by a registered assessor, who makes a judgement as to whether the evidence submitted by the candidate covers all the requirements of the unit standard or qualification.
The Steps of
Enrollment
- STEP 1 : Pre-entry phase
-
The learner applies for assessment for recognition of learning. The learner is given the necessary information. A preliminary screening process takes place where the viability of an RPL assessment is determined.
- STEP 2 : Advice phase
-
The evidence facilitator assists the candidate with the gathering of evidence and presentation of the Portfolio of Evidence. The evidence facilitator only facilitates the process of evidence gathering: the candidate has the responsibility of undertaking this task.
- STEP 3 : Assessment phase
-
The candidate compiles and submits a portfolio. The registered assessor assesses the portfolio. The assessor and the evidence facilitator will not be the same person.
- STEP 4 : Moderation phase
-
The moderator moderates the assessment process. The moderator makes recommendations where necessary. The declaration of competence is confirmed.
- STEP 5 : Certification phase
-
The candidate is issued with a certificate of competence. The necessary data is uploaded to the MIS.
- STEP 6 : Language Policy
-
Our language of tuition is English.
- STEP 7 : Cancellation Policy
-
Cancellations of course fees will not be accepted once you are accepted and registered as a learner. Consideration will only be given to exceptional cases. You may cancel your studies, but you will remain liable to pay your course fees
- STEP 8 : Learners' Financial Aid
-
Learners can arrange to pay their course fees by bank debit order, cash monthly, cash in advance, credit card or stop order. W&RSETA may also make grants available from time to time. Contact W&RSETA at 012 622- 9500 or 012 430 4935 for more information
- STEP 9 : Student Support Services
-
Learners will be supported by our call centre at (081) 738-4041 should they need any assistance. Learners can also make an appointment with their facilitator/assessor should they choose to
- STEP 10 : Online Learning
-
In some cases, online learning sessions will be arranged to support limited contact learners and learners living in remote areas. In order to take part in the online learning you will need access to a computer, internet connection, speakers, etc. If online learning support will be part of your course, you will be notified with registration.
FAQ'S
Questions & Answers
- Where do we operate?
-
A and S Training Consultancy offers its qualifications and skills programmes nationally
- What if I can do certain activities already?
-
You will be able to apply for RPL assessment against certain unit standards. This means that evidence of your experience and previous studies could be used for an assessment process in order to declare you competent. This process is called Recognition of Prior Learning
- What is RPL?
-
Commonly called RPL, Recognition of Prior Learning is a mechanism which provides for acknowledgement of a person's knowledge and skills which might not have been acquired through formal training. This means that regardless of where, when or how a person achieved the learning, if such learning meets the requirements of a unit standard or a qualification, it could be recognised for credits. RPL is therefore a form of assessment for persons who have not attended training but still wish to be acknowledged for their current knowledge and skills in a particular area.
- What does it cost?
-
Just as the process is not a speedy one, the cost is affordable but not cheap. However, it is definitely less expensive than attending a formal workshop and then undergoing the assessment. It's not only the actual costing which needs to be taken in consideration. The hidden costs of being out of the workplace for formal training and therefore, not being productive also have to be kept in mind.
- IS it worth it?
-
Definitely! Imagine: perhaps a full qualification which acknowledges your knowledge and skills without you having been in a classroom or undergoing coaching and mentoring.
