Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) with ADVEX and SQA Programs

At ADVEX Management School, we value the knowledge and skills you have gained through your past experiences. Through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process, all SQA-accredited programs offered at ADVEX provide learners with the opportunity to have their previous learning—whether formal, non-formal, or informal—recognized and credited towards their qualifications.

What is RPL?
RPL is a structured process designed to evaluate and recognize the learning you've acquired through various means, allowing it to contribute to your chosen qualification. This process is fully endorsed by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), ensuring global credibility and recognition.

Types of Prior Learning Recognized:

1. Formal Learning:
   Learning achieved through structured programs in educational institutions, such as school, college, or university, resulting in a recognized qualification.

2. Non-formal Learning:
   Learning acquired through structured training programs outside formal education, such as workplace training, professional development courses, or workshops.

3. Informal Learning:
   Learning gained through experience, self-directed learning, or practice, such as skills developed through on-the-job tasks, community engagement, or personal projects.

How RPL Works at ADVEX:

1. Evidence Collection:
   Learners can demonstrate their prior learning through two key methods:

   • Portfolio Submission: Compile and present a portfolio that includes evidence such as certificates, training records, employer endorsements, or reflective accounts.

   • Challenge Test: Undertake a practical assessment, interview, or written test to demonstrate your skills and knowledge in a specific area.

2. Initial Consultation:
   Contact ADVEX to discuss your prior learning and how it aligns with your chosen program. Our RPL team will guide you on the type of evidence required and the submission process.

3. Assessment and Evaluation:
   Your evidence will be assessed by qualified academic staff against the program or module criteria to determine the credits or exemptions applicable.

4. Recognition and Credit:
   Upon successful evaluation, credits will be awarded, reducing the workload required to complete your qualification.
