Recognition of Prior Learning     Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) acknowledges the current skills and knowledge that a person possesses. These may be obtained through: Formal training (including formal training for which there is a direct status/transfer of credit arrangement with Stones & Muirden Business College & Training Centre) Informal training (such as experience gained on-the-job in paid employment) Voluntary work Life/community work experiences   In order to gain full recognition, you need to accurately document your claim for competency, matching evidence of your knowledge and skills to the specific elements of competency of the relevant unit. Required evidence and methods of collecting it will be fully explained to you, but it is your responsibility to gather the evidence and organise it appropriately.   Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is given when you can supply evidence by drawing on your experiences gained in paid employment, voluntary employment, further studies or community work. A fee is charged for RPL applications. For further information about the application process, please contact the College.
