Advocacy Training and Development Program
This is the second part of the Compensation training program and consists of a number of components, all of which must be satisfactorily completed before a Level 2 Statement of Attainment can be issued.
A candidate can achieve this Unit of Competency in one of two ways: The training pathway, where they must already hold the Level 1 qualification or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway.
The training pathway takes a Level 1 Advocate to a stage where they are able to assist a veteran (with minimal supervision) with a primary claim under any of the Acts covering military compensation. The Advocate will also be able to analyse a decision and determine whether an appeal may be warranted. The decision to appeal rests with a Level 3 (VRB) or Level 4 (ART) Advocate.
Throughout the training process, the candidate must have a mentor and an on-the-job overseer to assist them in skills development (The mentor and the overseer may be the same person).
The training pathway assumes the candidate gains their knowledge and skills on the basis of 10% from formal training, 20% from mentors and 70% from on-the-job involvement.
The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is available to people who have undergone previous TIP training, at Level 2, in all acts covering military rehabilitation and compensation. What is RPL?
