WHAT IS RPEL?

Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) is an approach that recognises knowledge, skills and competencies gained through previous employment, workplace learning, training and life experience.

The RPEL approach helps experienced workers identify, document and demonstrate their existing knowledge and competencies against the requirements of an appropriate programme.

DON'T HAVE A FORMAL QUALIFICATION?

You do not necessarily have to start from zero.

Our team helps you identify a suitable pathway based on your previous experience, knowledge, skills and competencies.

BEYOND TRADITIONAL WRITTEN EXAMINATIONS

  • 5+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
  • CLASSROOM LEARNING
  • WORKPLACE EVIDENCE
  • PORTFOLIO
  • COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT

The RPEL approach focuses on the knowledge and competencies that experienced workers have developed throughout their careers.

Learn While You Work

We understand that our participants have jobs, businesses and family commitments.

Our programmes can therefore be structured around working adults, subject to the schedule and requirements of each programme.

1

CLASSROOM LEARNING

Face-to-face learning with qualified trainers and facilitators.

2

WEEKEND CLASSES

Suitable scheduling options for working professionals, where available.

3

INTENSIVE CLASSES

Focused learning according to programme requirements.

4

PORTFOLIO GUIDANCE

Support in organising your work experience, knowledge and evidence.

5

INDUSTRY-BASED LEARNING

Learning activities connected to real workplace situations and industry practices.

Recognition Pathway

The programme does not mean that participants are exempt from all forms of assessment. Portfolio review, practical assessment, competency assessment or verification may be required depending on the programme and relevant awarding or certification body.
