UEENEEH013B – RPL ASSESSMENT
RPL Assessment Tool
RPL recognises any prior knowledge and experience and measures it against the qualification in which you are or wish to be enrolled.
The process:
 complete the Self Assessment checklist included in the RPL Assessment Tool with as much information as you can. Please fill in the “grey” shaded
areas.
 If needed, contact one of the RPL Assessors listed below. They will be able to give you more advice on the type of evidence that you will need to
provide.
 collect and organise the relevant evidence
 Submit the filled in form by email to one of the RPL Assessors below. They will then contact you back to organise an assessment interview. This
interview may include presenting your evidence, answering knowledge questions and if necessary, further assistance to guide you to a sucessful
result..
 contact the Administration Office to obtain an enrolment form. Pay the RPL fees at the Enrolment Centre.
UEENEEEH013B
Troubleshoot Amplifiers
This unit covers providing known solutions to predictable problems in single path circuits operated at extra-low voltage as they apply to various
electrotechnology work functions. It encompasses working safely, problem solving procedures, including the use of basic voltage, current and
resistance measuring devices, providing known solutions to predictable circuit problems.
