Accreditation and Recognition of Prior Learning
Accreditation & Recognition of Prior Learning
Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL), also known as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), grants formal recognition for skills and knowledge acquired through life experiences, regardless of how they were learned. This long-standing process has enabled countless individuals to advance their careers and personal development by providing official certification of their existing expertise.
APL/RPL offers a valuable solution for those with extensive practical experience but limited formal qualifications. Many individuals possess skills far exceeding their credentials, yet struggle to secure interviews due to a lack of official recognition on their resumes. In today's competitive job market, where automated systems often filter applications based on keywords, holding the right qualifications is crucial. APL/RPL bridges this gap by formally certifying your existing knowledge and experience, ensuring your skills are recognised and increasing your chances of landing that interview.
APL/RPL is particularly beneficial for individuals aged 25 and above seeking formal recognition of their skills and experience to advance their careers or access higher education. This includes those with international qualifications who need their expertise recognised locally. While APL offers a pathway to numerous fields, it's important to note that it does not apply to certain professions like medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy, psychiatry or nursing.
Essentially, APL provides a valuable credential, but career success ultimately depends on the individual's actual knowledge and ability to apply it. It is crucial that candidates fully understand the requirements of the jobs they pursue and possess the competency to excel in those roles. While our partner institutions grant these non-traditional awards, it is the individual's responsibility to ensure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in their chosen field.
