To achieve this qualification, competency must be demonstrated in the following 12 units of
competency

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) and or credit is provided as an assessment option to students who consider they are able to meet the skills and knowledge requirements of any unit(s) that make up the RII60520 Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design program.

RPL assessment is based primarily on the use of portfolio evidence and an interview with the student that includes oral questioning. When considered necessary (based on the Trainer & Assessor’s assessment of the student’s portfolio and interview questioning), it may also include a challenge test.

All applicants for RPL will receive advice and guidance from a Trainer & Assessor to ensure they understand the requirements of the relevant units of competency and the types of evidence required. Student wishing to obtain recognition of their prior learning must then accept primary responsibility for identifying, gathering, and submitting suitable evidence of their current competency.

The process may involve the student undertaking a practical demonstration (e.g., in a role play), combined with questioning by the Trainer & Assessor. For those units where an applicant is unable to provide sufficient evidence to the standards required, they will be required to complete training and assessment in those units. The details information about credit transfer and RPL is given in IET’s RPL and Credit Transfer Policy and Procedures.
