Skills Recognition

Recognition of Current Skills
RPL for your employees
It’s yourCHOICE!



Do you have skilled employees ready for a qualification?

Fast tracking to a qualified workforce makes good business sense.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is one way your employees can have their knowledge and skills assessed by the Registered Training Organisation - Choice Training Solutions. www.choicesolutions.com.au

Your employees deserve recognition
A qualification gained through recognition or an assessment-only pathway is just as valid as one gained through a training and assessment pathway. People often have extensive work experience and knowledge that have not been formally recognised. These people can be a great asset to your business.

RPL is one way your employees can have their skills and knowledge assessed by a RTO to see if they meet current industry standards. RPL assessment recognises a person's skills and knowledge no matter how, when or where the learning occurred. RPL can be used to achieve full or part qualifications and can be used to identify what further training may be needed to get a nationally recognised qualification.
If your employees have completed formal study relevant to their industry area, they may be eligible for credit transfer.

Having your employee's skills recognised makes good business sense
Staff retention benefits include:
Gaining recognised qualifications can be a strong motivating factor for skilled staff to commit themselves to your business.
Recognition supports succession planning for key positions and continuity of your business.
Recognition acknowledges and rewards staff for their experience and service.
Business growth opportunities include:
A more qualified workforce potentially increases productivity and improves your business reputation.
A qualified workforce helps your business retain an edge over your competitors.
Having qualified employees is becoming increasingly important in quality assurance for industries.
What is involved?
An employee going through an RPL assessment process will be asked to provide or demonstrate evidence to an assessor that their skills meet current industry standards.
You can help your employee through the process by:
allowing an assessor to observe your employee at work
providing information about your employee's work and skills
allowing an assessor access to relevant information (e.g. work samples, and/or documentation).

What are the costs?
You will need to check associated costs with the RTO (www.choicesolutions.com.au) undertaking the assessment.

Flexibility of an RPL assessment
RPL assessment meets the needs of individuals and employers by:
offering flexible options (e.g. providing for special learning, physical and language needs)
incorporating assessment into a standard workday (where appropriate)
identifying skill gaps to target future training investment.

My Life as a Goose

In the end there was the beginning
Where all the mutes were loudly singing
The blind audience watched the show
As the deaf folk rocked to and fro

What was left was surely taken
As of beef we all eat bacon
As the crow swims slowly by
I slowly floss my food soaked eye

I think I can’t remember
To count to ten and then September
The colour red is really black
As I start my job with the sack

My mind is found before it’s lost
As I catch that which is tossed
I count my blessing at the dawn
And wash my back with a prawn

In the beginning there was an end
As it all starts again
I have much less of what is more
As to crawl I must first walk

As a straight line turns the bend
I receive what they didn’t send
The dawn breaks to late light
The dark dims early my sight

I like to think
But, only in drink
I like to hear
If I have a beer

I would go to bed
If it was with a Red
I like a Blonde
But the taste is wrong

I look but cannot see
What is to become of me
I hear a voice inside my head
Shut up you goose and go to bed

An Evening Walk

Upon the stone paved walk
Two travelers paused to talk
They spoke of the latest events in Town
And of Madams latest gown

A barber ran amuck
A patron out of luck
The Doctor in his abode
Lost a patient so they heard

The Town Crier came to pass
He yelled, the Mayor will do the task
And as they chatted on
There came a striking Blonde

She glanced, as if to know
There names were, ah! so and so
Pardon, Madam he spoke with Glee
your name, Madam before you flee

She looked as if quiet amused
A smile, a shutter and then withdrew
Alas the two resumed their chat
On with the News, and enough of that

Out with a crash flew Billy Flegg
And landed with his head upon my Leg
The Tavern Doors looked worst for wear
There was Blood about everywhere

A person screeched, a Gun did blast
From behind a Door clad in a Mask
Came the Villain, Danny Fart
Aiming his Gun straight at my Heart

I took a Breathe of cool night air
And at Him I gave my coldest stare
Your time has come, of that I’m sure
Now place your Hands against the Wall

He snarled, he growled and then he leaped
Not a me, but off the step
My voice cried out against the noise
I checked myself, a striking poise

The travelers lent to speak
Their words were secret and discrete
This Town we’re in, promotes good talk
Turned away and off they walked

I Glanced about the lights were Dim
My reflection bounced back from within
Dressed in Black, a striking Man
Light exposing my deep dark tan
A grin exposed, with thoughts so vain
And then I felt this burning Pain
The Rouge that stood before me then
Had struck at me yet again

The night cooled against my Brow
I let out a shallow Scowl
With trembling hands I felt my Chest
One last glance, my Hair, forget the Rest

A body now lay, still and cold
To Die so young, not that old
My Life had been all for me
I now lay down for all to see

My Fight

From behind they struck a blow
The bevy of hits continued to flow
From the ground I began my fight
I blocked their kicks with all my might

Rising up, I hit the air
Hoping someone would be there
My clenched fist hit the mark
I couldn’t see it was so dark

Arms stretched out I caught a foe
I rung his neck not letting go
Another, he caught my boot
He would now, always be a mute

My elbow struck a heavy jaw
As the crowd around began to roar
His nose I broke with my head
As his face turned all bloody red

I thrust my hand in some ones mouth
And from it all meat came out
Two eyes I tore from his face
And I was beginning to hit my pace

I lined up three against the wall
And through their hearts I cut them all
The others, were on the ground
And as I shot, there came no sound

As I put my gun away
I saw the early light of day
As I strode off down the street
All the folks to me did greet
