Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)The National Framework of Qualications forms the basis of a new, more exibleand integrated system of qualications. The need for such a system arises in

Carlow Institute of Further Educationfully supports the policy of the National Qualications Authority of Ireland topromote the co-ordination and harmonisation of processes for the recognitionof prior learning on the part of education providers and awarding bodies.

Prior Learning Encompasses:

1. Formal learning, which takes place through programmes of study or training,delivered by education or training providers which attract awards.

2. Non-formal learning that takes place alongside the mainstream systemsof education and training. It may be assessed but does not normally lead toformal certication. Examples of non-formal learning are: learning and trainingactivities undertaken in the workplace, voluntary sector or trade union andcommunity-bases learning.

3. Informal learning that takes place through life and work experience (andis sometimes referred to as experiential learning). Often, it is learning that isunintentional and the learner may not recognise at the time of the experiencethat it contributed to his or her knowledge, skills and competences.

Carlow Institute of Further Education in conjunction with FETAC is committedto implementing a RPL Policy to enable assess to our programmes for allstudents. This involves an evaluation of all students learning to date so asto determine their capacity to participate on their chosen course/programme.Contact Institute for details.
