What is Recognition of Prior Learning?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an academic assessment of completed advanced professional study. On this pathway, RPL is considered subject to academic assessment and approval, on a subject-by-subject basis. It is not an automatic exemption, and professional-body references do not imply partnership, endorsement, exemption agreement, or accreditation.
