EVENT POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO ALERT LEVEL GUIDLINES

Turning skills and knowledge into a formal qualification with Assessment of Prior Learning

Many people have an enormous amount of work experience, life knowledge and skills but may not hold the qualification to match.  Meet Shane Tawharu, UCOL’s APL manager at breakfast.  Learn how skills and knowledge can be formally recognized and credited toward a relevant certificate, diploma or degree that will benefit your business.

Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) is a process through which an individual is awarded academic credit based on the relevant learning they have acquired through life experience, work experience and informal education or training.

APL is available to anyone who can provide evidence that their relevant skills, knowledge and experience are at the required level to be credited towards a qualification. Each set of presented evidence is unique to that individual and evidence is gathered in their own time.

Benefits of APL:

– Complete a qualification in a shorter time.
– Reduce or eliminate the need for training in skills and knowledge already held.
– Advance to a higher-level qualification in a shorter time if desired.
– Enrich and grow career opportunities.
