What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?


RPL is a fast-track pathway for individuals who already have hands-on industry experience but lack formal qualifications. Instead of taking long courses, your existing knowledge, practical ability, and years of work are assessed to award you with an NVQ or vocational certificate.
