Recognition of Prior Learningand Achievement

The recognition of prior learning (RPL) provides a means by which students who have already achieved some of the requirement for the award of the Access to HE Diploma, through some means other than study on an Access to HE Programme, can be awarded with Access to HE Diploma without necessarily being required to undertake units for which equivalent achievement has already been demonstrated.

No more than 50 per cent of the credits required for the award of the Access to HE Diploma may be awarded through RPL.

Applications should be submitted to One Awards by the last day of October in the year of registration.

Please note: there is a charge of £50 per application

Recognition of prior experiential learning (RPEL) is the process by which non-certificated learning achieved in a range of learning contexts is recognised in relation to meeting the credit requirements of the rules of combination for the Access to HE qualification. In this process, credit is awarded by the AVA in recognition of learning achievement, and the student is exempted from achieving the units for which equivalent achievement has already been demonstrated.
