What are RP(C)L and RP(E)L?
RP(C)L and RP(E)L are the processes by which previous formal certificated learning and informal non-certificated learning can be awarded academic credit. These credits can be used towards University of Plymouth modules.
Whatever type of prior learning and experience you have, it is the skills and knowledge gained from that learning, and the extent to which the knowledge and skills can be applied that is important, not the learning experience itself. The process of giving recognition is based on a comparison of these existing skills and knowledge against the requirements of the learning course for which you are claiming credit.
