What is Recognition of Prior Learning?

Online

Topic What is Recognition of Prior Learning? Description If you've been preparing for your next promotional opportunity and are looking to step into academics, you could apply to have this learning recognized in order to fast track new learning at Dalhousie. It's called Recognition of Prior Learning and we will walk you through how you can apply to RPL and be rewarded for your past learning experiences. RPL is a process that awards learners access to formal study and advanced standing through the assessment of certified, non-formal and informal learning including work and life experience, training, independent study, volunteer work, travel, and hobbies. RPL assesses the knowledge you've gained from your experiences, not how much experience you have. Join us for this informative webinar! Time Aug 25, 2022 12:00 PM in Halifax
