In July 2022, purple infinity was contracted by the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations to re-design and re-purpose a set of legacy recognition of prior learning (RPL) toolkits to support suitably experienced candidates seeking recognition against the CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care.
We are proud to host the resulting RPL (RPL) toolkit which has been specifically developed to support high-quality RPL assessments for the CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care.
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates a person’s existing skills and knowledge gained through formal education and informal experience to determine how well they meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification.
The toolkit comprises 3 key documents:
- Self-Evaluation Guide - designed for experienced early childhood educators holding a pre-CHC30113 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care qualification and experienced primary school teachers seeking recognition for the CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. A series of self-evaluation questions aligned to the qualification provides guidance in gathering evidence to support an RPL assessment against the qualification
- Assessor Guide - provides clear guidance for assessors working in the children’s education and care sector. It offers advice on how to conduct high quality RPL assessments against the CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care
- Mapping Guide - links the evidence-gathering tools to the 15 core and 2 elective units of the qualification. This is useful for registered training organisations.
Together, these resources offer a comprehensive and user-friendly framework to support candidates and assessors in conducting robust, compliant and meaningful RPL assessments.
