This guide is designed to signpost users to a range of information relevant to their needs or interests in Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). It aims to highlight in straightforward language the different ways in which RPL can be used by learners and by those providing an RPL service.

Some learners might be aiming to undertake learning at college or university or as part of workplace learning and might therefore be seeking SCQF credit. Others might want to map their skills and learning gained through experience as part of their personal development or for career planning. Whatever the reason for embarking on the RPL process, this online guide can be used by a wide range of learners and organisations to help them through the process.
