What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an innovative and accessible process that allows you to transform your life and professional experience into formal qualifications.

Through RPL, skills acquired in various contexts - such as work, volunteering, informal courses or other experiences - are assessed and validated, ensuring that your knowledge is equivalent to that obtained in formal education.

With this, you can save time, reduce costs and reach new professional opportunities without having to repeat content you have already mastered.

How does RPL work?

The RPL process is conducted in a structured manner and includes the following stages:

Assessment

Your skills and prior knowledge are analyzed based on the learning objectives of a specific qualification.

Documentary Evidence

You present evidence to prove your skills and experience, such as:

• Certificates from previous courses.
• Portfolios of projects carried out.
• Letters of recommendation or professional references.

Validation

A qualified assessor reviews the evidence submitted to verify its authenticity and relevance in relation to the requirements of the desired qualification.

Award of credit

If the evidence meets the established criteria, credits are awarded, allowing you to progress more quickly in your formal studies.

Benefits of RPL

The adoption of RPL offers a number of significant advantages:

Save time and money

Reduce the length of the course by eliminating the need to take subjects that have already been mastered, and lower the related costs.

Career acceleration

Get formal qualifications faster and open doors to promotions, new jobs or changes of area.

Official validation of skills

Gain formal recognition for skills that were previously only practical, increasing your confidence and credibility in the job market.

Flexibility and Accessibility

Take advantage of the opportunity to combine your practical experience with new learning, adapting the process to your personal and professional needs.

Why is RPL important?

RPL is not only a validation tool, but also a means of inclusion and recognition, allowing each individual to maximize the value of their unique experiences. It levels the playing field and promotes training without borders, creating bridges between practical and academic knowledge.
