Recognition of Prior Learning
BEC helps individuals and organisations to recognise, assess and validate knowledge and competence gained through workplace experience, informal learning and previous learning.
What is RPL?
You may have the knowledge. You may have the experience. RPL helps you get it recognised.
Recognition of Prior Learning is a process through which existing knowledge, skills and competence gained through work, life experience or previous learning are assessed against the requirements of a qualification or occupational standard.
You don't necessarily have to start learning from the beginning if you can already demonstrate the required competence.
Who is RPL for?
Experienced Employees
For people who have substantial workplace experience but need formal recognition of their competence.
Organisations Implementing RPL
For organisations that need support to design and implement structured workplace RPL systems.
Professionals Without Formal Qualifications
For experienced practitioners whose workplace knowledge may not be reflected by their existing qualifications.
Employers
For organisations seeking to recognise, develop and strengthen the capabilities of their workforce.
