Recognition of Prior Learning: Rewarding Good Performance
Many of your existing employees may be highly competent in the skills required to perform their job, but do not have any formal qualification or means of recognising their abilities. This can limit their career growth potential within your organisation or pose a problem should they need to be able to prove their talent to a new employer.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) forms another part of the National Skills Development Strategy. It is a formal means of awarding credits and qualifications to an individual based on prior learning achievements, regardless of whether the learning was through formal or applied training.

Companies that have existing employees talented in their vocations, but lacking a qualification, can take part in a Recognition of Prior Learning assessment process and receive many of the benefits of a learnership, including:
- The acquisition by staff members of nationally recognised qualifications
- Attractive tax breaks for each learner assessed
- Improved employee engagement and motivation
- Improved staff retention and career pathing
- Minimised non-productive time
