Why do a Self-assessment?
Self-assessment is a quick and easy process that helps you to decide if you have enough prior experience and knowledge to start an RPL application for a unit (or units) of competency
Credit Transfer
Before starting the RPL Self- Assessment, keep in mind that if you have completed the training and assessment for a unit previously and have a Certificate or Statement of Attainment then you should contact the office and they will check if you can be awarded Credit Transfer. This means you will not have to undergo any further training or RPL.
The Self-Assessment Process
Self-Assessment is conducted at the unit level and you may want to consider RPL for one or any number of the six units included in the OSOM Escort Vehicle Driver training course.
To complete the self-assessment follow the steps below:
- Click on the links below to access the self-assessment for each unit
- Complete the self-assessment checklist:
→ Consider your past experience and tick the rating which best describes your situation
→ Consider what evidence you can provide to substantiate you have had this experience. If you feel you have the necessary evidence then tick the ‘yes’ box in the evidence column. Note: you do not have to provide this evidence at this point that will come later when you start the RPL process.
Types of Evidence
The types of evidence you might use are as follows
- Work records and work resume;
- Records of workplace training;
- Records of previous formal training;
- Assessments of current skills through observation;
