Recognition of Prior Learning
 RPL recognises what you have learned from: |
|
1.
other courses
2.
life experience
3.
work experience
Where you can prove that your prior learning reaches the required standard RPL can be awarded. RPL can only be awarded for a complete module - not for parts of a module. This means that you get credit for that module and do not need to repeat it.
RPL may be assessed by three methods:
| 1. Attestation |
An authoritative person confirms prior learning, usually at an interview. |
| 2. Portfolio |
You present a collection of materials and information containing all the evidence and details of prior learning. |
| 3. Assessment |
The prior learning is tested by assessments similar to or the same as those on the course. |
| If you want to be considered for RPL you should apply to the Academy in writing.
|
|
This is what will happen:
 You will be provided with written details of the course, learning outcomes and assessment criteria on which to base your application.
The application will be given to a tutor to compare with the programme requirements.
You will be notified of the decision within 20 days.
You will need to pay RPL assessment costs @ NZ$300 per module. If you request RPL for 5 or more modules the cost is NZ$200 per module.
