About RPL

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that allows individuals to gain recognition for the knowledge, skills & experience they have acquired through formal and informal learning, work experience, and life experiences. It is a means of assessing & validating an individual's existing knowledge and skills against a particular qualification or standard.

It is particularly useful for people who have gained skills and knowledge through work or other experiences but who do not have formal qualifications to show for it. It can help them to gain recognition for their skills and knowledge and to improve their career prospects.

RPL can also be used by employers to assess the skills and knowledge of their employees and to identify any gaps in their skills that need to be addressed. This can help to improve the skills of the workforce and increase productivity.

RPL is a valuable tool for recognizing and valuing the skills and knowledge that individuals have gained through their experiences and for helping them to achieve their career goals.
