Stage 7 – LMP Assessment Flow Charts

The LMP data needs to be analysed using the criteria in the four components shown below.

*Teaching points are not included in the LMPs, however can include description, duration, and audience.

Initial steps on receipt of LMP data to assess.

Receipt of LMP Data

Upon receipt of LMP data, distribute only to the approved assessment team.

Comparison

Review the ADF Military Skill Recognition website to understand rank structure and equivalencies.

Approach

A standardisation approach is taken - students coming from within an organisation (ADF) at differerent ranks - similar to RPL based on VET study of certificates and diplomas.

Course Progression

Review course progression rules of ADF courses.

Association

Determine a loose association of LMP packages to the course units within the HE institution and map to specific schools within the faculties.

Assess the LMP data against the Learning Outcomes of the relevant HE institution’s units, as shown in the diagram.

*Teaching points are not included in the LMPs, however can include description, duration, and audience.

Training.gov.au (TGA) - formerly the National Training Information Service (NTIS) - is the database on Vocational Education and Training in Australia. TGA is the official National Register of information on Training Packages, Qualifications, Courses, Units of Competency and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and has been developed for experienced training sector users.

Assessment of learning material should make use of appropriate frameworks such as those detailed in below.

Assess

Components for Assessment

Peformance Criteria

The required performance in relevant tasks, roles and skills to demonstrate achievement of the element.

Performance Evidence

Specifies the skills to be demonstrated to the product and process, as well as frequency or volume of the process.

Elements

The essential actions or outcomes which are demonstrable and assessable.

Knowledge Evidence

Specifies what the student must know to safely and effectively perform the work task described in the unit of competency, and the type and depth of knowledge required to meet the demands of the unit of competency.

Assessment Conditions

Clearly documented conditions under which evidence of assessment will be gathered and assessed.

Assessment Considerations

Database

Create a database / Power App which enables filtering by learning objectives to understand which are appropriate to the school's courses.

Key Criteria

Analysis of LMP data: Theme, Course Outcomes, Learning Outcomes, Assessment Outcomes, Teaching Points/Methods.

Map Equivalency

Determine LMP equivalency to institution's courses/unit outlines.

Filter

Filter out HE units that require prerequisites.

Pre-requisites

Consider if there are any ADF qualification pre-requisites, service and course pre-requisites of other LMPs e.g. promotion courses from corporal to sergeant.

Hours

Examine study contact hours to ensure thresholds are met.

RPL Policies

Review whether the LMPs comply with the institution's own RPL policies and course rules.
