Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU-accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL, which you should refer to.
