Identify what makes RPL assessment different
Most TAFE teachers, trainers and assessors working for an RTO learnt about RPL during their Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. But doing RPL for real is often very different to learning about on a TAE training course. This deep dive webinar looks at the real challenges that happen when conducting an RPL assessment. It will look at simple and practical methods to overcome those challenges.
