Obtain recognition of prior learning Put your experience to good use

Recognition of prior learning is a process where, following a review, your various prior professional and learning experiences may be officially recognized.

What is RPL?

The recognition of prior learning (RPL) process is based on identifying and validating learning experiences according to the program and course objectives and established criteria; the process is available for all levels of study.
