Key Points of RPL process
• Focus is on what the learner knows rather than where,
when, how it was learned
• Assessments are designed to ensure achievement of
clear learning outcomes/competencies of course

content specialists/course experts
• Not all programs have RPL processes developed for
all courses
• Must be registered in a F/T program or enrolled in CE
course for any process to start

How we “do” RPL
RPL is Program Specific
• Review courses in the targeted program
• Match learning acquired (previous work
experience and or post secondary courses) with
courses required in the program
• Identify potential for RPL
• Identify courses that would increase knowledge,
skills and abilities
