3 Training and Assessment Strategy p3 of 7 Learning Needs Learners must understand English, must be able to write (complete forms etc) in English, and have Literacy and Numeracy skills relevant to course requirements or arrangements can be made for assistance. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL/RCC) RPL recognises that people who already the knowledge and skills required for competency in various units or modules of an accredited training course should not be required to re-learn what they already know. The process of RPL takes into account that various competencies can be acquired through: previous qualification work and life experience The main focus of RPL is on the performance criteria in the various units of the course, not how, when or where the learning occurred. Hence there is no distinction between formal and informal learning. To gain the full qualification you must complete all 7 core units and any 3 identified elective units as stated in the course structure. Learners must also demonstrate application of skills and knowledge on-the-job. Learners would achieve this by completing the units and applying them on-the-job through the various assessment activities. An Evidence Portfolio also supports the RPL process by providing documentation relevant to the competency of each unit.
