What is Recognition of Prior Learning?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) means if you can show you already have knowledge or skills in a subject area, you don’t have to complete the full course to get an award. Just click on ‘What do I already know’.
The ‘What do I already know’ section on each level 2 and level 3 course checks what you already know in the subject. It allows you to skip parts of the course if you already have the skills and knowledge.
You will have complete a number of tasks. If you get them all correct, you show that you already have the skills and knowledge needed to complete this course. Then you can skip parts of the course and go straight to the ‘End Test’.
