Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

​

🌟 Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – Lanka TEFL Institute

RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) allows you to convert your skills, knowledge, and experience into internationally recognized qualifications. It enables you to obtain UK certification faster by making invisible learning visible, without repeating what you already know.

Through RPL, work experience and skills from formal and informal learning are evaluated via an assessment procedure to see if you meet the requirements for certification by UK awarding bodies.

​

Qualifications available through RPL include

​

Certificate in TEFL 120               Certificate in TESOL 180               Diploma in TEFL

                              Diploma in TESOL                       Diploma in ECECM

 

Diploma in Caregiver

RPL formally acknowledges knowledge and skills obtained through:

  • Formal courses or training programs (universities, colleges)

  • Informal courses or volunteer preparation

  • Private study (e.g., online learning)

  • Employment (paid or voluntary)

  • Life experiences, including overseas travel

Evidence Required for RPL

Evidence depends on the unit of competency. Examples include:

  • Past Studies: qualifications, transcripts, assignments

  • Workplace Documents: session plans, learning materials, assessments

  • Audio/Video Recordings: examples of teaching or assessment

  • Third Party Reports: employer references, student testimonials, peer/colleague testimonials

  • Other Evidence: workshop/seminar/conference documents
