Authenticity & Legitimacy of the institutions where the students obtain the overseas qualifications  are main concerns for assessing overseas qualifications for RPL  before determining which unit should be granted the RPL.

I provide the following advice on assessing the overseas qualifications so that any teacher in the electrical engineering section can handle the assessing overseas qualifications for RPL .

ENGINEER SECTION

ASSESSING OVERSEAS QUALIFICATIONS FOR RPL

Regarding the assessment of overseas qualifications, the following Australian comparability are to be referred

(1)    Engineers Australia Assessment as Professional Engineer or Engineering Technologists or Engineering Associates

(2)    The qualifications obtained in the countries where Washington Accord   for Professional Engineer OR Sydney Accord for Engineering Technologists OR Dublin Accord for Engineering Associates

(3)    Assessment by National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition

(4)    For trade qualifications, assessment by Trade Recognition Australia or VETASSESS or NSW Vocational Tribunal

(5)    RPL Tests

The documents for (1) to (5) can be found in the following RPL Assessment Documents download link

Membership Certificate or Assessment Letter

RPL for the units relevant to the transcripts can be given

(2)    The qualifications obtained in the countries where Washington Accord   for Professional Engineer OR Sydney Accord for Engineering Technologists OR Dublin Accord for Engineering Associates

Please see the documents for other countries in the link

Some countries provide the list of the accredited programs. Some  provide the online data bases. The institutions can be found in the provided link.

Universities in Myanmar

RPL for the 20281/20282 & 20278 units relevant to the transcripts can be given

(3)    Assessment by National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR)

·         NOOSR Assessment Letter

·         Country Education Profiles (CEP) that should be purchased online by the candidate & present the page of the CEP of the country from where he or she obtained the qualifications together with transcript.  The fees to purchase CEP for a particular country is payable. It is the responsibility of the student to purchase it online.

RPL for the 20281/20282 & 20278 units relevant to the transcripts can be given

Country Education Profiles of all countries

(4)    For trade qualifications, assessment by Trade Recognition Australia or VETASSESS or NSW Vocational Tribunal

Please see the documents in the link

Trade Recognition Australia

RPL for the units relevant to the transcripts can be given

But the units requiring specific Australian standards can not be given RPL. Some of them are expressed in the list.

Some of the units require Australian standard & they can not be given RPL solely based on overseas qualifications.

For example every engineering student has done the engineering drawing. But for

UEENEEE107A     

 

Use drawings, diagrams, schedules, standards, codes and specifications

AS 1100.101-1992  is used in Australia.

 

Unless the engineering drawing subjects completed overseas shows that AS 1100 .101 has been applied, the RPL for that unit can not be granted.

The list of units requiring specific Australian standards

To advise

(5)    RPL Test

If the qualification awarded can cause the confusion on Authenticity & Legitimacy for example, the country & the institution does not include in the record, RPL test should be arranged.

Most of them are already in Country Education Profiles published by NOOSR in 1992 but many of the new institutions around the world are not included. In this case.

The other teachers in Electrical Engineering Section should also provide the list of the accredited institutions in his or her country of background to assist the RPL process.

Please see the self assessed online tests

Regarding to assess whether the student knows the contents of the subject, you can give the following self assessed online test questions to the students.

For example, to assess the knowledge in DC Circuit E104, you can give the following links to the student to download the question

http://www.iqytechnicalcollege.com/electricaltrade2022.htm#E104A

&

the following links to the student to do the online test

To advise

When the student finishes the test, the result will automatically come out. Ask the student to print out the result & then the assessor can further decide on the matter

Al other teachers are invited to contribute the RPL test questions

The details of the online tests prepared by me can be found on the document in the following attached document.

For RPL tests of the other teachers needed to be supervised by the assessor & the student should be notified in advance.

After RPL test, the student’s answer will be collected by the assessor and marked.
