Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

If applying for RPL the student is responsible for demonstrating that prior learning relevant to the course themes and content has taken place in a way that enables qualitative course assessment on the scale from 1 to 5.

Demonstration / documentation should always include both:

Self-evaluation and reflection of skills and competences (against all the course objectives) and reference / context demonstrating that prior learning has taken place such as work experience /specific tasks or roles at work / trainings / mentoring /workshops/ testimonials / evaluations / certificates / reports like 360 etc

Independently searched materials according to instructions + materials provided by the teacher(s).

This course is all about developing yourself and it requires independent and self-managing approach:
- Pre-assignment (in some implementations) helps set individual learning focus
- The more effort you make, the more you learn

But students work as a group:
- Supporting each other
- Being responsible for creating a motivating and psychologically safe atmosphere in which studying takes place
