Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that recognizes the skills, knowledge, and experience a person has acquired through work, life experience, and formal training. It allows individuals to gain a formal qualification or units of competency as part of further study. RPL is particularly valuable for people who have the knowledge or completed similar study and have developed expertise in a particular area, enabling them to formalize their skills and progress in their careers.
