What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?
RPL is ‘prior learning that is given a value, by having it affirmed, acknowledged, assessed or certified’ (National Qualifications Authority of Ireland – NQAI). By recognising the learning you have achieved in your work/life experiences or through previous certification you may have undertaken, your access to education and progression within the National Framework of Qualifications is made easier and more accessible. RPL can assist in gaining you entry to a training programmes, exemptions from sections of an award and even full awards. You should also realise that an application for RPL is a detailed process that may take considerable time and effort to achieve.
