You have just finished assessing competence of Candice Candidate. In this case, Candice
approached ABC Training House and asked if she could apply for RPL in the unit, BSBTWK201

needing an RPL ‘kit’ to follow. She simply interpreted the unit of competence and compiled a
portfolio of evidence that she thought would work.

RPL assessments such as these would be far more reliable and fair if ABC Training House could
produce an RPL assessment plan and instrument that candidates and assessors could use.
