The NSW TAFE Commission has agreed that in developing courses for accreditation, it will meet the requirements of the National Framework for the Recognition of Training (NFROT). One of the requirements of NFROT is that Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is available. RPL is one element in the provision of recognition for students. Other elements of recognition include standard and non-standard exemptions.
In order to provide a coordinated recognition service to clients of TAFE NSW this evaluation was initiated to investigate the procedures being used in relation to non-standard exemptions and to discern what factors are essential for a successful and efficient service.
The evaluation focused on existing procedures for non-standard exemptions. At the conclusion of the evaluation ten recommendations for improvement were given. These included:
Simplifying the existing system
Consistency across the state
Devolvement of responsibility to teaching sections where appropriate
Subject-specific guidelines be written
After implementation of the report, a follow up review was undertaken to evaluate its success (see Non-standard exemptions: review of the implementation in TAFE NSW TD/NSW 43.14)
