Portfolio Assessment
Description:
Each claim of learning submitted in support of an RPL application should be accompanied by appropriate evidence documents which provide proof of learning achieved or verifying the learning experience. Examples of evidence that may be used to support a learners RPL application include: projects, publications undertaken by the learner; voluntary work activities; testimonials from employers regarding specific tasks undertaken; certificates; references. This evidence forms the learning portfolio and learner must ensure that the portfolio contains all the necessary information and evidence to support the application. For each RPL application, it is necessary to demonstrate that the learning outcomes of the module have been achieved.
