Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the recognition of knowledge and skills acquired through work experience, education, training and life experiences.

The RPL process matches knowledge and skills to the learning outcomes of a course to determine any possible credit for study units.

If you have studied previously or have significant work experience in a particular field, you may be eligible for credit towards a new course, allowing you to finish your study sooner.
