Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a framework that allows informal learning or learning via employment to be recognized in the same way that formal degrees of education are. It seeks to value earlier learning regardless of how it was obtained. In a nutshell, RPL is a method of assessing an individual’s prior learning to prioritize learning as an outcome above learning as a process. rpl certification is an effective method of formally validating prior learning and allowing workers to move into a formal system.
