b) Recognition of Prior Learning

NCIUL  promotes Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) as a means of converting prior learning towards credits for taught programmes, whenever possible, according to student’s individual situation, currency and general comparability of prior learning, as well as correspondence of learning outcomes involved.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) may concern certified, experiential or uncertified learning.

Certified prior learning can be defined as prior knowledge at a higher education level that however has not led to the award of credits or qualifications positioned on the UK higher education qualifications framework.

Experiential prior learning is where the student has already achieved some of the learning outcomes through work experience.
