Experience Assessment - Professional discussion hints & tips for you

Ellie

I have just finished my experience assessment professional discussion as the final part.

Some Hints & tips for those who are yet to complete:

- refresh your memory/print the resources pages you are signposted to during the 3 core areas (knowledge and impact report etc). I was asked to explore further other areas that relate to the resources and didn't have this to hand.

- Re read your submissions to remind you of your examples if you completed early on. These will be referenced and referred back to to expand on. 

- Define out: Stakeholders, Customers and peers for you.

- The assessor used the VACS method for assessing.

- Look at your development and strength areas again and why these were chosen. Ask your stakeholders what they shared so that you can be prepared to answer the questions. 

- Have a look at legislative changes that have or will potentially impact you in your role and have a think about how this may/may not influence your decisions. 

We covered Knowledge and Impact report first, expanding on the examples and providing additional evidence then a break

Then the other 2 areas.

Hope it helps others prepare!

  • Hi Ellie, hope you don’t mind me responding to your post which is very helpful btw! I just submitted my reports yesterday and my PD is 14th June. I’m really worried to be honest. I just feel like my responses were weak in my reports although I tried to make them as strategic as possible and feel like my evidence uploads won’t hit the mark either. I just wondered if you could share more about the PD in terms of the strategic angle they look for? I know I’ve worked strategically but it’s making sure I get that across well! :( Thanks, Kimberley.

    Hi Kimberley,

    As part of my discussion I was asked to expand on many of my answers in the report. I was also given the opportunity to share new examples if I felt it was appropriate.

    My advise therefore would be to review the professional map ahead of your discussion against your reports. If you feel you have better examples to demonstrate the competence being looked for you can share that with your examiner during the discussion.

    I too was worried about whether some of my examples had hit the mark so ahead of my discussion I jotted down other examples just in case to share.

    I hope thats helpful!
