Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that evaluates and acknowledges an individual’s skills, knowledge, and experience gained through formal, informal, and non-formal learning.

It enables people to earn credits or qualifications without traditional schooling by assessing their competencies against national standards. RPL promotes access to education, career advancement, and lifelong learning, aligning with South Africa’s goals of equity and inclusivity in education and the workplace.
