Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual’s relevant prior learning and work experience (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the applicant’s competency.

The documentation required to support an application for RPL may  include some of the following:

• Work History and description of responsibilities
• Formal and non formal training
• Certificates, workshop’s etc.
• Performance appraisals
• Licences
• Membership of relevant associations
• References from previous employers
• Other documents which showcase the applicants skills.

An assessor will assist you throughout this process

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where skills and knowledge that you have gained through work and life experience and other unrecognised training can be formally recognised. Western Boiler Training provides a supportive approach to students wishing to take up this option.
