Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
RPL refers to the recognition of prior, uncertified learning. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) referred to RPL is understood as: “the principles and processes through which the prior knowledge and skills of a person are made visible, mediated and rigorously assessed and moderated for the purposes of alternative access and admission, recognition, or further learning and development.” (SAQA, 2013; CHE, 2016).
SAIA recognises the importance of the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in South Africa for the development of an equitable education and training system that facilitates access to, mobility and progression, including movement between the three sub-frameworks of the NQF as well as registration with professional bodies.
