3 Introduction to Recognition of Prior Learning What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)? RPL is recognising and giving credit for what you have already learned from: other qualifications life experience work experience training courses or workshops It measures what you have already learned against the requirements of our courses/programme. The objective is to give credit for what you already know and to avoid you having to repeat work already achieved in some other way. You can be given credit where you can satisfactorily demonstrate that your prior learning reaches the standard required for the course. A successful application means that your level of knowledge has been assessed and meets the same standard as someone who has completed the course. There are three forms of RPL is the School of Midwifery: Cross Credit (CC) is awarded when the student has taken an equivalent course at a different institution. Acknowledgement of Prior Learning (APEL) is awarded when the student has met the requirements of the course through a variety of learning paths (e.g. work experience combined with previous study) Partial Exemption (PE) is awarded when the student has met the learning outcomes of an assessment in the course but not the entire course. 3

4 Why should I apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)? If you think you have already covered the material in the course you can apply for RPL. These may be some of the advantages: Working out if your experience is similar to that in the course is useful in clarifying your level of existing knowledge; You get acknowledgement for your existing skills and knowledge when you start the course; Your time may be freed up to concentrate on other parts of the programme; You only have to study new material rather than going over old material again; Even though there is a fee to apply for RPL, in many cases it may cost you less overall in programme fees as you are not repeating courses. How does Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) work? In the School of Midwifery there are two ways in which prior learning can be proved. These are: Credit Transfer: credit is given for courses taught elsewhere which are equivalent to the course in which you seek RPL. You will need to provide adequate information about those courses and an official transcript. Portfolio: you compile a portfolio of evidence relating to the outcomes of the course for which you are seeking RPL. This may be based on work experience, life experience, or other kinds of learning. 4

5 How do I apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)? If you wish to apply for RPL you will need to talk to the Course Coordinator(s) and have your application completed within the first three weeks of the academic year. Due to government reporting we can NOT remove students from a course after this period. We have assigned a time during the first intensive for this discussion between students and course coordinators to take place. If you wish to go ahead with an RPL application, you can obtain an application form during Intensive. If you are applying for CC or APEL, detailed evidence of how you have met the outcomes of the course is required on application. An assessment interview may also be necessary. Your case will be assessed by the Course Coordinator or another assessor who has expertise in the area. After applications have been assessed by the Course Coordinator they are forwarded to the Midwifery Assessment Committee for final approval. An application fee of $80.00 is required for processing if your application is approved. If approved, you will be removed from the course and the course fees will be refunded. On Page 15 you will find a table showing previously approved courses for RPL. If you have completed an alternative course not included in this table, you will need to provide your course outline for this course. All students applying for RPL must provide their academic transcript. No application will be assessed without this information. 5

6 If your application is complex and combines material or evidence from several sources then a facilitator may be appointed to assist you. If a facilitator or other assessors are required there may be an additional fee charged. This is an Otago Polytechnic policy. The fee will be discussed with you and will be up to a maximum figure of no more than it would cost to enrol in the course. After the assessment the School of Midwifery will notify you of the decision. If you feel the decision is not satisfactory you may make an appeal to the Head of School. All APEL decisions operate under the oversight of the Midwifery Assessment Committee, and the committee may request additional information or details. If you are applying for a Partial Exemption, you must be enrolled and have paid fees for that course. Partial Exemption applications are not limited to the first three weeks of term but must be submitted and approved before the relevant assessment is due. To apply you give the completed application form to the Course Coordinator, together with evidence of your prior learning. If the Course Coordinator agrees that your prior learning meets part of the requirements of the course, she will discuss with you the work and assessment which remains to be done. The application form is then completed with these details and returned to the School of Midwifery. No fee is required. The Midwifery Assessment Committee considers the Course Coordinator s recommendation and notifies you of the decision. Note for International students International students may apply for credit and partial exemption but are not required to pay the application fee and are not eligible 6

7 for any refunds as a result of credit being granted. It may not be possible for an international student to enrol in courses in another level from that which they are currently completing e.g. enrolled in year one but wishing to enrol into a second year course because of credit granted. In these situations there are specific issues related to residency and enrolment requirements that must be discussed with the International Office. What do I do now? There will be an RPL workshop during the first Year One Intensive in Dunedin where Course Coordinators and the Student Advisor will be available for questions about courses or the process. If you are further along in the programme and think you think you might be eligible please contact the Student Advisor Kerrie Wilson. 7
