Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is also referred as Accreditation of Prior and Experiential Learning (APEL).

The aim of RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) is to develop connections between lifelong learning and different levels of study, as well as with the labour market. APEL is based on the substantial compatibility of the previously acquired knowledge, skills and experiences. APEL is a possibility to recognize prior learning (incl. continuing education) and professional work experience for completing curriculum.

There are three parties in the APEL procedure:

APPLICANT - ADVISER - ASSESSOR

The applicant is usually a student, but an application can also be submitted by a person who is not a student (e.g. to apply for vacant student places and to assess the eligibility of 30 ECTS in a particular study programme).
