Engineer Skills Assessment: Step-by-Step Process
If you’re an experienced engineer looking to formalize your qualifications, the Engineer Skills Assessment is the perfect route. This process evaluates your engineering skills and knowledge, recognizing your work experience as part of the qualification. Follow these steps to complete the Engineer Skills Assessment.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
The first step in the Engineer Skills Assessment is an initial consultation with an RPL assessor. During this phase, we’ll:
- Review your engineering experience and identify the areas that align with the skills required for the qualification.
- Determine if you’re eligible for the skills assessment based on your current competencies and work experience.
Step 2: Evidence Collection
Once you’re eligible for the assessment, the next step is to gather the necessary evidence to demonstrate your skills and knowledge. Evidence may include:
- Work Samples: Project portfolios, engineering reports, or designs you’ve worked on.
- Employer References: Letters from supervisors or managers detailing your responsibilities and achievements.
- Certificates: Any training courses or certifications you’ve completed that are relevant to your engineering work.
- Job Descriptions: Documents outlining your specific engineering roles and duties.
Step 3: Submit Evidence
Once your evidence is ready, submit it to the RPL assessor. This can be done through our online portal or via email, depending on your preference. The assessor will review all documents submitted and ensure they meet the requirements of the qualification.
Step 4: Skills Gap Identification (If Necessary)
In some cases, additional evidence or skill demonstration may be required. If the assessor identifies any gaps between your existing skills and the qualification requirements, they will guide you on:
- Additional Evidence: Providing extra documentation or showcasing certain skills through assessments.
- Short Courses: Completing short, targeted training (if necessary) to fill any knowledge gaps.
Step 5: Skills Assessment
The assessor will evaluate your submitted evidence to ensure that it meets the national standards for the engineering qualification. This process includes:
- Verifying your competence in core engineering skills.
- Checking that your skills and experience align with industry standards.
- Comparing your evidence with the qualification’s requirements.
Step 6: Qualification Awarded
Once the assessment is complete and all necessary evidence has been reviewed, you’ll be awarded your engineering qualification, provided you meet the required standards. You will receive a formal certification, officially recognizing your engineering skills and experience.
