RPL Policy

This is referred to as Recognition or Accreditation or Prior Learning. This is split into Prior Certificated Learning and Prior Experiential Learning. Prior Certificated Learning is where you have studied a qualification before and have credits and a certificate to demonstrate your learning. Prior Experiential Learning is where you have direct relevant experience in industry or another field of relevance to the subject you wish to study.

It may be possible to apply for this to be recognised as part of your course. You apply for an exemption to one or more units on the programme based upon what you have done previously.

There are application fees and costs towards exempted units as part of this process. See our policies below for how to apply, how this is reviewed and the costs involved.
