    RPL - recognizition of prior learning

    If you already have acquired the skills and competences set out in the learning objectives of this course, you can demonstrate your skills and competence. For the demonstration you need to enroll to the International Business Law DEMO implementation in PEPPI.

    If you already have enrolled on a Haaga-Helia implementation of International Business Law it is important that you inform both the teacher of your implementation and pia.vapaavuori@haaga-helia.fi during the first week of the implementation of your willingness to initiate the demonstration process. You will then be removed from the implementation by the course teacher.

    The demonstration cannot be completed, if you are actively on an implementation of International Business Law or if you previously have received a grade for the course (0 - 5).

    Please note that the demonstration process is based on your previously acquired skills and knowledge (e.g. through work) and therefore, no learning materials are provided for you for the demonstration exams and interview.

    More information on the demonstration process can be found here: https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/career-planning/recognition-learning and on the DEMO Moodle implementation.
