What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process by which prior learning is formally valued. It is a means by which prior learning is identified, accessed, and recognised by an educational institution as part of their programmes, courses and/or modules on the National Framework of Qualifications. This makes it possible for an individual to build on learning already achieved, and to be rewarded for it.

We welcome applications from potential learners as well as currently registered students. RPL applicants can include lifelong learners, those wishing to upskill/reskill, and people without formal qualifications who possess significant learning from work, life, etc.
