The process is easy to use and flexible, to match the varied needs of applicants. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is the generic term used to describe the system for awarding or transferring credit to students on the basis of demonstrated learning that has occurred prior to admission. RPL covers: Recognition of Prior Certificated Learning: This refers to formal learning for which certification has been awarded, through a bone fide educational institution or other education/training provider. Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning: This refers to informal or non-formal uncertified learning gained through work or other experience. It should be noted that academic credit will be awarded only for attainment of learning outcomes, not experience per se. The RPL process enables students who have already achieved the learning outcomes for a subject/module on their chosen course to apply for an exemption from taking that subject/module again.
