RPL - Recognition of Prior Learning

WHAT IS RPL?
The ‘RPL’ process is a methodical and detailed collection of evidence that describes your current knowledge and skill levels. This process can take up to a few months depending on what type of evidences you have available and how quickly you can get them together.
