RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process which involves the assessment of an individual's relevant prior learning, which may result in credit being provided for one or more units of competency, and / or a qualification.
The purpose of RPL is to provide an individual with the opportunity to gain credit from previous learning and experience should this meet the current unit requirements of a particular course or qualification.
The RPL process requires an Application Form being completed by the individual for the units / qualification in which they wish to receive credit.
The Application will then be reviewed by our Trainer and Assessor to determine if the skills / prior learning outlined in the RPL Application meet the current standard of the unit / qualification the student has applied for credit for.
The RPL Process may include:
- Questioning (oral or written)
- Observation of performance in a work type environment
- Mapping of learning outcomes from prior formal or non-formal learning to the relevant qualification components
- Participation in structured assessment activities which relate to the current units/qualifications
If the RPL Application for a unit / qualification is approved and the individual has received credit, the Statement of Attainment issued / Results Statement will show the unit/s resulted as 'Recognition of Prior Learning'.
