What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning is the process that involves the identification, documentation, assessment and recognition of the learning you have acquired through formal and informal study. The process of recognizing and giving credit for knowledge, skills and competencies that have been acquired experientially, that is , through work experience, unrecognized education or training, self study, volunteer activities, and hobbies.
The type of learning known as prior learning may occur:
- On the job
- In volunteer activities
- Through a hobby or interest
- In military service
- Through travel
- On training courses
- Through independent study
- Through family and life experiences
R.P.L. is a process that can be used to look at what you know and what you can do. R.P.L. can be used to get some form of recognition for what you know and what skills you have.
