This manual provides an overview of the five assessment methods commonly associated with PLAR and with competency-based assessment. These methods—self-assessments, written examinations, oral questioning, demonstrations and observations, and portfolios—are used by regulatory and licensing bodies, and by educational and training organizations, across Canada and around the world. The manual is divided into four sections: Introduction, Getting Started, Assessment Tools, and Putting It All Together. At the end of each section is a series of questions to help you evaluate your organization’s needs, and to help you consider possible future steps as you review your approach. At the end of the manual, the Appendices provide additional resources and references. CAPLA hopes that this manual will prove to be a helpful tool for recognizing the skills and competencies of immigrants. We should not forget that internationally trained workers have invested a great deal, both personally and professionally, to secure a productive future for themselves and their families in Canada.
We welcome comments about the manual on our discussion board. Please log in to "Discussion Forums" to post comments under the topic "Assessing the Skills and Competencies of Internationally Trained Immigrants / Discussion related to the Manual." Comments are welcomed in either English or French.
