HOW TO USE THIS RPL ASSESSOR KIT This RPL Assessor Kit is divided into sections to allow you to easily access only those sections you require at any given time. These sections are:

SECTION A – Assessor Information You need to read this information before conducting an assessment. It outlines the intent and processes surrounding this RPL assessment and how it differs from assessment undertaken following formal training.

SECTION B – Candidate Information and Application Forms You give this information to the candidate. It tells them about the assessment process as well as containing simple forms for the applicant to fill out. From the information provided by the candidate on these forms, you will be able to gain a general understanding of the skills and experience the candidate may have, as well as potential referee contacts.

SECTION C – Competency Conversation You use this section to determine and record candidate competence via a competency conversation. In other words, these questions guide your conversation with the applicant and assist in your assessment of their competence. The notes you take about this conversation are important evidence for assessment.

SECTION D – Practical Tasks and Observation Recording Sheets You use this section to assess competencies through a practical demonstration of the candidate’s skills. It contains practical tasks/scenarios on the outcomes required to determine competency and a place to record your observation. The notes you take are important evidence for assessment.

SECTION E – Resources for Practical Tasks You use this section to access required resources for performing practical tasks and scenarios.

SECTION F – Third Party Verification You give this section to the referees to confirm the candidate’s skills and experience in this qualification/occupation. The referees may fill out the appropriate form and return to you to confirm your judgement. You may be able to complete this part of evidence gathering in person while at the workplace.

SECTION G – Assessment Tables You use this table as a reference tool to see at a glance how units/elements of competency are assessed within the tool. All the elements and performance criteria within the competency units are cross-matched in this table with a corresponding assessment question/task/scenario. This allows you to validate the assessment process against the qualification.



SECTION A

Assessor Information It is VITAL you read this information prior to commencing your RPL assessment. It provides generic information on assessment, as well as an overview of this streamlined RPL assessment process.



ADVICE FOR ASSESSORS This RPL Assessor Kit streamlines the RPL assessment process for BCG30603 Certificate III in Painting and Decorating by taking a practical approach to RPL and increasing the use of on-site questioning and observation. This will assist in developing a “picture of the candidate’s skills and knowledge”. This picture can then be compared with industry standards enabling a determination of whether the candidate has achieved the required outcomes. MPORTANT ASPECTS TO REMEMBER: A sound knowledge of assessment and the qualification is essential It is important to have a good understanding of the competencies and qualification/s appropriate to the candidate’s goals. Assessing a single unit of competency is rarely cost or time effective. Where possible, effort should be made to assess several units at the same time taking advantage of any commonality in content. This means looking at the whole picture of a particular job role as it happens in industry and assessing holistically. This saves valuable time in the assessment process. Assessment involves judgement This tool encourages the use of a “competency conversation” to maximise the candidate’s opportunities to demonstrate competence. This is NOT an oral exam. It is about using the two or three holistic questions provided to start a conversation with the candidate which draws out their actual individual experiences and relevant skills. In other words, it is about the assessor probing the candidate through a conversation to draw out further information on the candidate’s experience which may not be forthcoming due to nerves or confusion over technical terminology. The tool also provides observable tasks to allow candidates to demonstrate skills. Authentication/verification is integral to RPL assessment It is critical information gleaned from the interview and observation be confirmed with those who can vouch for the candidate’s skill over time. Supervisors would generally perform this role. Authentication may also be done through conversation but it cannot be stressed enough that it is essential assessors take careful notes to back up and record their judgement. Recording assessment is critical Keep careful records of all aspects of conversations, skills demonstration or documentation viewed that support the claim of prior learning. Remember – the record is the document that makes sense of the assessment and why a particular judgment was made. Keeping detailed notes about the candidate’s response is vital, as is the rationale for judgement. The assessment record is a legal document and must be signed, dated and stored according to requirements of the State Training Authority and the AQTF Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Assessor summaries and other quality assurance documentation from your own Registered Training Organisation will also be required. For examples of assessment summary documentation, please see Assessment Guide Number 1: Training Package Assessment Materials Kit: http://resourcegenerator.gov.au/loadpage.asp?page=TPAGGuide01.htm



To access further information on the principles assessment and dimensions of competency, you can visit Assessment Guide Number 1: Training Package Assessment Materials Kit. http://resourcegenerator.gov.au/loadpage.asp?page=TPAGGuide01.htm To access further information on the Australian Qualifications Framework, you can visit: http://www.aqf.edu.au/ Advice on assessment of Prerequisite Units BCG30603 Certificate III in Painting and Decorating is built on a structure of accumulated skills and knowledge. This means that there are hierarchies of skills and knowledge that are built up from a range of competencies. Any units of competency that underpin others are listed as prerequisites. In terms of training delivery and assessment, the term ‘prerequisite’ means that a person cannot be deemed ‘competent’ in the higher level unit until they are competent in the prerequisite units. An RTO may choose an integrated assessment approach. In this case the actual assessment of prerequisites may occur concurrently with other units.

Assessment Activity Record keeping Activity



STEPS IN THE RPL PROCESS 1. Complete application The candidate completes the application forms in SECTION B. It is important candidates provide as much information of their previous experience in the painting and decorating industry as is available. Documents that may be available include but are not limited to:

any licences General Safety Induction (Construction Industry) Card (Blue Card) brief CV or work history certificates/results of assessment indentures/trade papers certificates/results of assessment – interstate/overseas certificates/results of assessment – universities results/statement of attendance/certificates – vendor training courses, in-house

courses, workshops, seminars, symposiums results/statements of attendance/ certificates – club courses e.g. first aid, officials, surf

life saving, etc tickets held eg forklift, crane, etc photographs of work undertaken diaries/task sheets/job sheets/log books site training records site competencies held record membership of relevant professional associations hobbies/interests/special skills outside work references/letters from previous employers/supervisors industry awards any other documentation that may demonstrate industry experience

Candidates also need to provide contact details for one or two referees who can confirm their industry skills in context and over time. To have skills formally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework, you must ensure the candidate’s skills meet industry standards. 2. Interview about candidate’s documentary information Review the information provided by the candidate and arrange a time for both you and the candidate to discuss. Begin alignment of documentation and skills to the following qualification:

BCG30603 Certificate III in Painting and Decorating The candidate will have the opportunity to discuss and identify previous experience with you. The available documents are step one in collecting information and you will need to determine which units of competency, if any, are fully covered at this stage. You use your own or your RTO’s assessment recording forms to record this stage of the assessment. There may be instances where the candidate has little, or no, documentary information of industry experience. This is not a barrier to gaining recognition. This will just require you to rely on the questioning, practical assessment and referee validation phases of the RPL process.



3. Questions for the Competency Conversation The bank of questions in SECTION C is the next phase in collecting evidence for the RPL process. The questions are designed to enable you to have a “competency conversation” with the candidate to further gain evidence of their past experience. REMEMBER, the primary focus is on the candidate’s experience. Each question has “key points” to look for in responses. You may use the list of key points to formulate questions of your own if you wish, or contextualise the question to the candidate’s particular work situation. The Record of Conversation sheets indicate relevant content that should be sought. Place a tick next to each key point as you hear this topic being discussed during the conversation. You should read the “industry requirements” of each competency before the candidate answers the questions posed. You may also target the assessment to those aspects that present the greatest risk in the industry. Questions are aligned with the relevant unit/s of competency in SECTION G. It is not intended every question for all competencies is asked, only those competencies the initial interview about the candidate’s documentary evidence has failed to fully address. The question bank covers most but not all units in the kit. Units without questions are covered in the practical assessment/scenario section. 4. Practical assessment tasks It is important that you use both Steps 3 (Questioning) and 4 (Practical Assessment) in doing this assessment. The RPL process is a streamlined RPL process which does not rely solely on practical assessment but uses a combination of questioning and practical to provide evidence of candidate competence. This is the third phase in collecting evidence. A practical skills test is then conducted by you at the candidate’s workplace or another suitable venue. Appropriate permission must be sought before entering workplaces. This is a further opportunity for candidate to demonstrate competence. It is expected the practical assessment will comprise only those competencies the candidate is still unable to demonstrate knowledge/experience in after documentary review and questioning have been applied. These assessments contain the practical skills and application of knowledge for the qualification. A number of holistic practical assessments are included in this kit (SECTION D) to assist you with tasks suitable for observation on the job. You decide if the response to questions and practical assessment tasks fulfils the requirements of the standard and may choose to pursue the issue further for a determination to be made. The assessment is a conversation/observation, not an exam, and you are encouraged to assist candidates to focus responses toward relevant issues. Assessing through observation and questioning, particularly on the job, will speed up and streamline the RPL assessment process. NOTE: Where candidate’s documentation and questions meet the assessment requirement, it is still strongly recommended the candidate undertake one practical assessment so you are confident in making a judgement of “competent”. The practical assessment selection should be negotiated between you and the candidate. Recording sheets for candidate information, questioning and the practical assessments have been included in SECTION D. You may use other recording mechanisms provided these also keep a complete record of assessment and justification of judgement. Candidate responses, observations of skills demonstrated and documents presented as evidence must be noted in enough detail so



anyone external to the process (e.g. a fellow assessor, auditor, lawyer, etc) can read the record and retrace your judgement. 5. Gap training RPL is an assessment process designed to show areas of competence and to identify IF a candidate has gaps in skills and knowledge against a whole qualification. Not all candidates will have skill/knowledge gaps. If a candidate has skills gaps, a pathway to complete training in the outstanding units can be negotiated to assist the client to gain the full qualification.



EVIDENCE REVIEW Recognition of prior learning outcomes (both Granted and Not Granted) are now funded nationally and as such will be included in National AVETMISS audits. NCVER have stipulated evidence recording requirements for RPL assessments as a minimum requirement for passing an AVETMISS audit. The following “Evidence Review” proforma has been approved by NCVER as covering AVETMISS audit requirements for RPL recorded outcomes. It also gives you an opportunity to track a student’s assessment progress at a glance. It is expected that this “Evidence Review” summary sheet (or similar) would be attached to each participant’s evidence compiled during the RPL assessment process. (Place a tick in the appropriate evidence collection method column for each unit of competency. Place a line through those units not examined as part of this RPL assessment.)

SECTION B

Candidate Information and Application Forms

You give this information to the candidate for them to read about the RPL process and to complete the appropriate forms.



WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE RECOGNISED IN PAINTING AND DECORATING?

Painting and decorating is one of the more traditional trades, little is known of the trade and its structures before the late 1200s, at which point guilds began to form in the United Kingdom and have become the modern associations of today guiding principles and standards.

Painters and decorators apply paint, varnish, wallpaper and other finishes to protect, maintain and decorate interior and exterior surfaces of domestic, commercial and industrial buildings and other structures.

A Painter and Decorator may perform the following tasks:

• work out the quantity of materials needed for the job by taking surface measurements or by looking at job specifications or drawings

• erect scaffolding, cradles and ladders, and placing drop-sheets to protect areas from dripping paint

• remove old paint or paper by sanding or scraping or by using blowtorches or liquid paint removers and, when removing old paper, by using steam strippers

• prepare surfaces by fixing woodwork, filling or sealing holes, cracks and joins, and washing them down to remove dust and grease

• select and prepare paints to match colours by the addition of tints • brush, roll or spray the paints, stains, varnishes and other finishes • when wallpapering, set out the area according to the pattern match and starting point in the room,

cut the paper to the appropriate length, apply paste to the back of each strip, and hang the paper on the wall, smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles

• spray paint surfaces using a spray gun or specialised equipment • apply decorative paint finishes such as stencils, colour glaze, graining, marbling and lettering • wash equipment and clean work areas

Painters may concentrate on a specific area of work, such as the internal or external painting of domestic homes, commercial buildings or industrial structures and equipment. They may work alone or as members of a team. They often work from ladders and scaffolding and do a lot of bending and stretching.

Personal Requirements:

• physically fit • able to work at heights • interested in practical work • normal colour vision • good sense of balance

The Certificate III qualification for painting and decorating requires 24 units of competency to be successfully completed to achieve the credential. Of these 24 units, 20 are compulsory and a further 4 may be selected from the list of Elective units. “If you are doing these roles in your job, then don’t write off your skills – consider getting them recognised.”



TIPS AND HINTS TO HELP YOU PREPARE FOR RECOGNITION To have skills formally recognised in the national system, assessors must make sure you have the skills and knowledge to meet the industry standard. This means you must be involved in a careful and comprehensive process that covers the content of all unit/s or qualification/s you can be recognised for. Assessment happens in a variety of ways. Being prepared can save you valuable time and hassle and make the recognition process stress-free for you. Here are some tips and hints for you:

1. Be prepared to talk about your job roles and your work history. Bring a resume or jot down a few points about where you have worked, either paid or unpaid, and what you did there.

2. Bring your position description and any performance appraisals you have from any painting

and decorating facilities you have worked in.

3. Consider the possibilities for workplace contact. Are you in a workplace that is supporting your goals to get qualified? Would you feel comfortable to have the assessor contact your workplace or previous workplaces so your skills can be validated?

4. Think about who can confirm your skill level. Think about current or recent supervisors who

have seen you work in the past 18 months and will be able to confirm your skills. The assessor will need to contact them. You may also have community contacts or even clients themselves who can vouch for your skills level.

5. Collect any certificates from in-house training or formal training you have done in the past.

6. You can speak with your training organisation about other ways you can show your skills in

painting and decorating. These could be letters from employers, records of your professional development sessions, employers or clients in related industries or government agencies, acknowledgements, workplace forms (as long as they don’t show client details) or other relevant documents.



STEPS IN THE RPL PROCESS

Step 1 – Provide information of your skills and experience Complete the attached forms and provide as much information of your previous experience in painting and decorating as you can. This is your first opportunity (and not the last) to provide proof of your variety of experience in the industry. Here you can supply examples of your work history which could include:

any licences General Safety Induction (Construction Industry) Card (Blue Card) brief CV or work history certificates/results of assessment indentures/trade papers certificates/results of assessment – interstate/overseas certificates/results of assessment – universities results/statement of attendance/certificates – vendor training courses, in-house

courses, workshops, seminars, symposiums results/statements of attendance/ certificates – club courses e.g. first aid, officials, surf

life saving, etc tickets held eg forklift, crane, etc photographs of work undertaken diaries/task sheets/job sheets/log books site training records site competencies held record membership of relevant professional associations hobbies/interests/special skills outside work references/letters from previous employers/supervisors industry awards any other documentation that may demonstrate industry experience

Depending on the industry you have worked in, you may or may not have documentary evidence available. This should not deter you from seeking RPL as the Assessor will work with you during the RPL process. You will also need to supply contact details of one or two work referees who can confirm your skills in the industry.

Step 2 – Conversation with Assessor An assessor will review the information you have provided (usually with you) and begin to match up your skills to the units/subjects in the qualification. At this point, you will have the opportunity to discuss and identify your previous experience with the assessor who will understand your industry experience and conduct a competency conversation with you. You will be required to answer painting and decorating related questions to identify your current skills.

Step 3 – Practical demonstration of your skills The assessor will conduct a practical skills test at your workplace (if appropriate) or at another suitable venue. This, again, is an opportunity to demonstrate your level of competence. This assessment will be focussed on skills that are required in the qualification. Your assessor will identify the skills that he/she will want you to demonstrate.

Further steps After the assessment, your assessor will give you information about the skills that have been recognised and whether you have gained the full qualification. If you do have skill gaps, these may be addressed through flexible training.

SECTION C

Competency Conversation

This section assists the assessor in documenting the competency conversation.

Do NOT give this section to the candidate. Once you have assessed the candidate’s documentary information and determined which competencies you still require more information/evidence on, you use the question bank and Record of Conversation sheets in this section to document evidence of past experience. It is not intended that every question for all competencies be discussed during the conversation, only those competencies the initial documentary review has failed to fully address. Each question has “key points” to look for in responses. You may use the list of key points to formulate questions of your own if you wish, or contextualise or rephrase the suggested question to the candidate’s particular work situation. The questions are not intended to be a formal ‘script’ for the assessor to follow, but to provide guidance in exploring the range of the candidate’s skills, knowledge and experience in performing a particular task or function. The Record of Conversation sheets indicate relevant content that should be sought. Place a tick next to each key point as you hear this topic being discussed during the conversation. In doing so, you are making a statement of fact about what you hear the candidate say during the competency conversation. Use the Comments section to provide further detail about the context of the discussion or briefly outline any examples discussed by the candidate. You may also use the Comments section to make a brief analysis of the responses or summary judgements about the quality of the candidate’s responses in relation to the requirements of the competency standard. Remember, the notes you take about this conversation are important evidence and should be retained in the candidate’s assessment record.
