Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that allows individuals to have their previous skills, knowledge, and experiences evaluated to gain formal recognition, such as credits or qualifications. It recognizes that learning occurs outside traditional classrooms, whether through work, training, or life experiences. RPL helps individuals validate their competencies without repeating training, saving time and resources. This process involves assessment of evidence like work samples, certifications, or descriptions of experience to determine if they meet the required standards for a specific qualification or skill level.
