Ok so I'm working in child care and studying my Cert III. TAFE have been mucking around so much (have held on to assignments for 6 weeks now - saying there is a backlog in marking, but they're not allowing me to enrol in more because these ones aren't signed off even though it is THEM that I am waiting on... very frustrating!). My boss said that he believes I would be eligible for RPL. So he's contacted the TAFE and printed off all the info for me and arranged for a phone interview tomorrow morning with the RPL coordinator.
I've worked in child care full-time for a year now (almost, shy of a few weeks), which is usually the time they say you have learnt enough to RPL a lot of things in the Cert III. I also have 18 months of an Early Childhood Education uni degree up my belt. Even though none of that eqautes over the the Cert III, do you think it might be a little bit relevant?
But I'm so worried that the RPL coordinator will say "Um... you are dumb why are you wasting my time!".
I'm so worried that the few modules I have (6) left are things I won't be able to verbalise in an interview. And I don't have the formal training to back anything up, just experience. Which isn't much.
Can anyone tell me of their RPL process? Not necessarily with child care/Children's Services, just any RPL stuff you've been through.
