Prior Learning with Capable NZ

Capable NZ Logo

CAPL, the Otago Polytechnic's highly regarded Centre for Assessment of Prior Learning has recently changed its name.

Now called Capable NZ, this innovative group are making the change to reflect their ground breaking role in New Zealand's fledgling Prior Learning sector.

Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) are an internationally-recognised, academically valid way of recognising the knowledge that people have gained through their experience.

In simple terms, the centre assesses life experiences (largely gained in the work place), to see if those experiences equate to a formal qualification. These could range from certificates to a fully fledged degree.

The CAPABLE NZ APL and RPL processes can be quite straight forward if a client has comprehensive experience in a particular field or there may be gaps that can be filled through further study. Typically this educational pathway will help mature people gain qualifications without having to start from scratch.
