Students may demonstrate competency either by RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning), the completion of work place projects or the completion of assessment activities based on the Australian Career Development Studies Level 2 materials.
Assessment Tasks
Recognition of Prior Learning - students undertaking RPL will need to provide evidence of their competency. Please read the RPL Kit and complete the RPL Ready! mapping document as the first stage of the RPL Process. You and your assessor will discuss your RPL Ready mapping and suitability for RPL. If you are using RPL as assessment for this competency, you and your assessor once you have collected your evidence, will undertake a structured professional conversation about your evidence in order to assess your competency. 


Workplace project assessment - students are required to provide a written report add/or presentation of your project showing evidence of your engagement with the elements of the competency, underpinning knowledge and use of appropriate skills.


Students undertaking study in this unit of competency are required to complete tasks that include:
• the completion of ACDS learning material activities

The application of knowledge to their workplace task is negotiated with the student and might include the development of resources for clients, that application of your knowledge to meet your client’s needs and implementing new initiatives in the workplace or your practice, completion of case studies and online research
