• Have an active registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland or other registration in a country in which they are practicing if international students.
• Be working in the specialist practice of the programme for the duration of the programme.
• Provide a clinical learning agreement signed by a director of nursing or designate. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) Learning occurs in many contexts including work, involvement in social and community activities, and learning through life experience generally. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) does not give credit for experience as such – rather, it considers learning that was acquired as a result of the experience. RPL may be used to gain admission to programmes where you may not have obtained the standard entry requirements. This is considered on a case-by-case basis. Exemptions from programme modules that duplicate learning already demonstrably acquired through prior learning may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
