1st post on this forum, need help r.e. RPL please! Sender: silversurfer

Hi All, 1st post on this forum, excellent advice and people on here, all interesting reading, thankyou for all taking the time to give advice in your free time.

If anyone can help me r.e. a few questions I have it would be very much appreciated.

1)I'm looking to apply for an rpl buttessment. If the buttessor doesn't believe I fall into a particular IT skills category i.e. 60 points, could he in theory mark it as a computing technician i.e. 40 points? 2) Do people supply a covering letter with all their paperwork? Could I in theory grovel and say I'll be willing to fall in as a computer technician and grab the 40 points as I cant face the thought of being failed as an I.T. specialist? 3) If you do write a covering letter, what would you write in it? 4) Do you supply a CV with your paperwork? How long is a good CV? Is 5-6 pages too long? 5) How far have you gone in trying to give as much information to the buttessor? e.g. Have you gone as far as printing off IT related e- mails from work to prove you do this sort of thing everyday, in order to prove you support certain systems etc..

Many thanks to anyone who reads this and can help!

Only after I click send will I realise I've asked some silly questions.
