7 Recognition of Prior Learning Many learners already have a high level of skill, knowledge and expertise that can be recognised through a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process. This process takes into account any previous formal study, work and life experience and then assesses this against the elements of competency to determine if you can receive credit toward a qualification. Participants will be able to seek recognition of prior learning through the submission of a portfolio of evidence which meets the requirements for participants undertaking this learning and assessment pathway. This program has been developed to enhance the leadership and management skills of employees within the health and community sector in consultation with industry experts. Therefore, candidates who seek accreditation through the assessment process of RPL, will be encouraged to participate within all the learning activities as part of their on-going professional development.
