Phnom Penh: The Royal Government, led by the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, has set specific mechanisms in the Recognition of Prior Skills (RPL) program to ensure fair, accurate and consistent assessments of current employment standards by collecting evidence from competency tests, oral questioning and successful practical application assessments.
Mr. Sun Mesa, spokesperson for the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, said that the quality of RPL assessments is reliable, ensuring quality, accuracy, and compliance with today’s work standards because those who assess and give scores must undergo training on competency-based assessment methods. And register and receive recognition from professional institutions to confirm that you are a competency-based valuer with sufficient qualifications in each area of expertise.
He continued: “All candidate competency assessors are carefully selected from the private sector, registered with the Ministry of Justice, and have high professionalism, quality, and work standards. They undergo rigorous training and must adhere to the code of conduct set out in the criteria for registering as a qualified appraiser.
To ensure the quality of candidates, Mr. Hang Bunheng, an appraiser from the private sector, stressed that candidates must have sufficient skills to be able to receive a certificate of proficiency, as the appraiser will closely examine the candidates’ work. From the initial stage to the end of the job.
In this sense, candidates pass or fail the test based on their actual ability, not their understanding. No bribes and no favoritism. Mr. Bunheng said, “Our scoring is based on five factors: they must know how to use safety equipment, have a clear understanding of the equipment to be used in relation to the job or profession, be knowledgeable during testing or work, check their work results, and finally, clean the equipment and the place where they work.”
According to Mr. Sun Mesa, all appraisers must receive training on the competency-based valuation method and, after evaluating the competency, must participate in the competency-based valuation process twice first. Before being registered as a Professional Assessor.
In addition, he requested the private sector to join in supporting And help assign its civil engineers to attend training courses on the methodology of assessing prior professional recognition to become professional assessors and provide opportunities for its civil engineers to join as professional assessors.
Following the recommendations of His Majesty the King, as well as encouraging former Cambodian workers from Thailand to receive official recognition of their skills, the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training has organized a free assessment of previous skills recognition for 8 construction professions starting in April. The year 2026 is coming.
