Diploma Positive Psychology and Wellbeing 10300NAT Welcome to the RPL Self-Assessment Toolkit for the Diploma of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing. This Self-Assessment Toolkit is to be used if you believe that you may have skills and knowledge that could be recognised against units of competency from the qualification. The RPL process requires you to be actively involved, participating in the required steps and undertaking assessment activities. What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) understands that you may have gained valuable skills or knowledge in paid or unpaid work, and in activities such as informal training. An assessor for the Langley Group Institute (LGI) will seek to match your skills and knowledge to the requirements of the learning outcomes of the units of competency in the Diploma of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing. If you are assessed as already having achieved relevant skills and knowledge you will not be required to complete all or part of the diploma training program. The Role of the Assessor Your RPL Assessor will support and guide you through the RPL process and requirements. Your assessor is required to assess whether or not you hold the required skills and knowledge, based on the requirements of the qualification and the evidence gathered in RPL processes. Definitions While you do not need to understand all of the requirements of assessing the units of competency in the Diploma program, you do need to participate actively including self-evaluating and discussing your skills and knowledge, and undertaking some workplace assessment tasks. To assist in your active participation the following are some of the relevant terms and concepts for RPL: Qualification the Diploma of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing is a nationally recognised accredited course. Units of Competency Units of Competency cover the workplace skills, knowledge and attitudes (competencies) individuals need to perform to the standard expected in the workplace. Each unit of competency has a code and a title for example, PPWPPP501A Apply principles of positive psychology in wellbeing theory to measure and build human flourishing. The title is a brief summary of the unit s coverage. The units of competency include elements, performance criteria, assessment requirements (including performance evidence what you must demonstrate you can do and knowledge evidence what you must demonstrate that you know) and the conditions for assessment.
Your assessor will ask you to self-evaluate and demonstrate your skills and knowledge based on workplace tasks relevant to the units of competency. Core and elective units the Diploma of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing contains a variety of units of competency that are required to be undertaken. These include core units (the one that must be completed) and elective units (units that can be chosen to suit your work requirements). Competence, competent to be awarded the qualification or a Statement of Attainment for some of the units of competency, you must demonstrate that you are competent in the units of competency. This means that must be able to demonstrate that you currently hold the skills and knowledge in the units, and that you can perform tasks to the standard expected in the workplace. RPL Assessment in RPL, a qualified assessor, on behalf of LGI, will consider evidence of your competence in applying skills and knowledge you have gained through work and life experiences. The assessor will ensure that the assessment meets the principles of assessment valid, reliable, flexible and fair. Evidence- the LGI assessor will consider evidence in assessing your competence evidence can be gathered from workplace documents, discussions with you and others, demonstrations of workplace tasks, testimonials, third party reports and structured assessment tasks. Your assessor will discuss this with you. Your assessor must be sure that the evidence meets the rules of evidence that is, it must be valid (related to the unit), sufficient (enough to make a decision), current (show that you hold the skills now) and authentic (your own work). This self-assessment toolkit set out the units of competency for the Diploma of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing including the elements and performance criteria. You are asked to read the information provided about the units and them provide details of how you consider your experiences would meet the requirements of the unit. You are also asked to provide details of the evidence that you have to support your application.

Please ensure that you can provide correct contact details for your referees.
However, do not be put off if you don t have these, your assessor will help you identify possible evidence if required. Please Note: Workplace and client information is likely to be confidential, so will need to confirm that your workplace agrees that you can use any workplace documents and delete identifying information.
