Instructions for Applicant

To have skills formally recognized in the national system, assessors must make sure you have the skills and knowledge to meet the industry standard. This means you must be involved in a careful and comprehensive process, which your assessor will also explain to you, that covers the content of all unit/s or qualification/s you can be recognized for.

Assessment happens in a variety of ways. Being prepared can save you valuable time and hassle and make the recognition process stress-free for you.

Once your application and self-assessment forms are completed you will be required to make a declaration which you must sign to confirm that the information you have given is true and correct. This is found following the Information for Applicants in this document.

You then go on to collect, register and collate your evidence for submission.

Complete the Evidence Register and number each document/photograph/video that you provide as evidence.  This will ensure that all evidence that you provide is received by the assessor.  This should also be noted in the supporting evidence section of the “Work History” section of this kit.

Remember that any photographic or video evidence that you submit must be an “action” photograph or video and you must be in the photograph or video. In the evidence register, you will need to provide details of what the photograph/video is demonstrating and why you have included it with your evidence.

The assessor is to identify which units will form the qualification packaging for the applicant, within the relevant qualification packaging rules, based on the responses to the self-assessment and core unit requirements.

The units selected in this section, and the level of the applicant’s experience, will determine the competency conversation that must be completed.
