CREATING AWARENESS ABOUT RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING:
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is known by many names in different countries. It is APL (Accreditation of Prior Learning), CCC (Crediting Current Competence), or APEL (Accrediting Prior Experiential Learning) in the UK, RPL in Australia and New Zealand, and PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition) in Canada (although different jurisdictions within Canada use RPL and RCC (Recognition of Current Competence).Regardless of the title, all are the same and all are RPL. Most commonly it is known as Certifications Offered on the Basis of Experience.
Recognition of Prior Learning is not a new concept. Please view for further information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition_of_prior_learning
The International Organization for Standards Development (ISO), the same organization which develops and accredits standards like ISO 9000, 14000 and 18000 etc has paid due attention to this and developed an international standard titled IS0 17024.
The developed nations have paid particular attention to this area particularly Germany, Finland, USA, UK and Japan have learning models based on RPL.
Many international universities and government bodies today award diplomas and certifications based on RPL. For example: http://scqf.org.uk/more/rpl/
