What is RPL?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), also known as Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) or Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), is a process that acknowledges and gives credit to individuals for the skills, knowledge, and competencies they have acquired through informal learning experiences, work experience, and non-formal education.

The purpose of RPL is to assess and recognize the learning outcomes achieved by individuals outside of formal education settings. It allows individuals to demonstrate their competence and obtain formal recognition, such as qualifications, certifications, or credits, for the knowledge and skills they have gained through practical experience, self-study, volunteering, or other non-traditional learning pathways.

The RPL process typically involves assessing an individual's prior learning against the established learning outcomes or competency standards of a specific qualification, course, or program. This assessment can be carried out through various methods, including interviews, examinations, portfolio assessments, workplace observations, and demonstrations.
