RPL Assessment Plan for TAE40116: BSBFIA302 and Assessment Tasks

This document contains an RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) assessment plan designed for teachers undertaking the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, specifically focusing on the unit BSBFIA302 Process payroll. The plan outlines the purpose of the assessment, which is to evaluate a candidate's skills and knowledge in processing payroll using both manual and computerized systems. It details the target group, context of assessment (RPL), and specific needs of the individual being assessed. The assessment involves various components including an assessment plan, assessment instructions, evidence checklists, and quality review checklists. The document includes short answer questions, multiple-choice questions, and practical tasks. Furthermore, the assessment requires the development of assessment tools, including instructions for candidates and assessors, evidence collection instruments, and third-party reports where applicable. The document also includes details on the assessment of the candidate and the assessor's report, including recommendations and quality review checklists to ensure the assessment's validity and reliability. The plan aims to assess the candidate's ability to create, implement, and review RPL assessment processes, and to provide comprehensive feedback on the assessment tool and process.
