Recognition of Prior Learning
Do you have several years of experience in your area of expertise?
RPL aims to formalise the benefit of that experience into actual qualifications. Otago Polytechnic has a very strong CAPL unit (Centre for the Assessment of Prior Learning) in Dunedin but you can start the process in Central Otago if you live here. Contact us on 0800 765 9265 to find out how we can help you to get recognition for your experience.
APL Overview
Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) is an internationally-recognised academically valid way of recognising the understandings that people have gained through their experience.
Through APL, candidates are encouraged to identify, articulate, demonstrate and reflect upon the understandings and skills they have developed in their lives (both through their work and any other relevant learning experiences).
