SDP 11 Statement of Work Experience Template

Statement of Work Experience Template for Training Providers

This statement of work experience template provides a structured way to document a learner's practical workplace experience within a training, assessment, RPL or skills development process.

It can help capture where the learner gained experience, the type of work completed, responsibilities performed and the period during which the experience was obtained.

Work Experience Statement Template

A work experience statement template provides learners, employers and training providers with a consistent format for recording relevant workplace exposure.

This can be particularly useful where practical experience needs to be considered as part of an assessment, Recognition of Prior Learning process, workplace programme or Portfolio of Evidence.

What This Statement of Work Experience Template Can Help You Record

The editable template can assist with documenting:

• Learner personal details
• Employer or workplace information
• Job title or position
• Employment or experience period
• Department or work area
• Duties and responsibilities
• Practical tasks performed
• Tools, systems or equipment used
• Knowledge applied in the workplace
• Skills demonstrated
• Level of responsibility
• Projects or activities completed
• Supervisor or employer details
• Supporting workplace evidence
• Learner comments
• Employer or supervisor confirmation
• Signatures and dates

Training Provider Work Experience Record

A consistent training provider work experience record can help assessors and administrators understand the practical experience a learner has gained before or during a programme.

The information can also assist when comparing workplace experience with programme outcomes, assessment criteria or RPL evidence requirements.

Learner Work Experience Declaration

The document can also function as a learner work experience declaration, allowing the learner to formally record their previous or current workplace experience.

Where appropriate, the information can be verified or confirmed by an employer, supervisor or responsible workplace representative.

Supporting Assessment and RPL

Documented work experience can provide useful context during assessment and Recognition of Prior Learning processes.

It does not automatically prove competence, but it can help identify relevant experience and indicate where further supporting evidence or assessment may be required.

The statement can be used alongside RPL application forms, gap analyses, workplace evidence, assessment plans and other ETD documentation.

Editable for Your Organisation

The statement of work experience template is supplied in an editable format and can be customised to reflect your organisation's programmes, workplace requirements, RPL procedures and assessment processes.

Before use, adapt the template so that the information requested accurately reflects the type of workplace experience relevant to your programme or qualification.
