Recognition of Prior Learning RPL

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is the formal acknowledgement of a person's skills and knowledge acquired through previous training, work or life experience and which may be used to grant status or credit in a qualification or part of a qualification. The generic term ‘Recognition' covers recognition of prior learning and skills recognition and encompasses the recognition of competencies currently held, regardless of how, when, or where the learning or skill acquisition occurred. Recognition is an integral component of the vocational education and training (VET) system. When commencing or re-commencing a qualification, you may be able to apply for credit for previous service as an apprentice or trainee, or for relevant work experience. Any credit given should reduce the duration of your course. 

What Is The ‘Recognition' Process?

The process of Recognition involves us working together collecting evidence that verifies your competence, from a range of sources. This evidence can include any combination of formal and/or informal training and education, work history and/or general life experience.
