RPL in engineering and manufacturing
14 qualifications, 7 ready today, and what assessors in this industry actually accept as evidence.
Engineering and manufacturing accounts for 14 nationally recognised qualifications on the register. 7 of them have a guide built and ready to start today; the rest we will build on request. Recognition of Prior Learning assesses any of them on evidence of work you have already done, rather than on training you sit through.
What evidence looks like in engineering and manufacturing
Scope is what gets argued about here. Fabrication, machining, fitting and CNC setting are different units, and a portfolio that describes them as one job reads as vague. Job cards, the drawings you actually worked to, inspection and QA records, setup sheets and first-article reports all pin the work to a date and a part.
Coded welding is the exception to everything above: welding qualifications are issued against a standard by test, and no portfolio substitutes for the test. Treat them as separate from the qualification and expect to sit them.
