Steps Required to
Map RPL to ADF Courses

Stage 3 – Assess and Filter LMP Data

The LMP data should be reviewed to identify which content is applicable to each faculty within the HE institution, based on their areas of specialisation.

Filter the LMP data into smaller sets for the relevant schools within the faculties (or equivalent).

A database should be established to enable cross-referencing of the large volume of content (see resources for a data sorting template).

Schools nominate academic subject experts to undertake assessments.

Academic assessors will review the Learning Outcomes, Assessment Outcomes, Course Outcomes and course length from the LMP data.

As smaller ADF courses may not gain credit, a number of these completed LMP courses could be grouped together to obtain credit (similar to assessing TAFE diplomas against university subjects). The assessors will evaluate these against the Learning Objectives to confirm whether each LMP course is appropriate for their school.

Consideration needs to be given to the following areas:
  • Course progression rules of ADF LMP data
  • ADF service pre-requisites (e.g. corporal required for sergeant)
  • Qualification, service and course prerequisites (HE units may not be equivalent because they have prerequisites)
  • The HE provider’s own RPL policies
  • HE course rules.
