Assessment of my learning
- Your prior learning case will be assessed by the module lecturer or another appointed assessor. They want to see if your case meets the learning outcomes of the module in question.
- Assessment of the prior learning case is against the learning outcomes with consideration to the following criteria: Each learning outcome must be met and the assessor must be satisfied that the case is:
Valid - does this material count, is it suitable ?
Reliable - does this example represent a typical scenario for you ?
Authentic - it is truly your own ?
Current - reasonable currency is important
Sufficient - is there enough to support a case ?
- Assessment will take a week – ten days after which you should hear back informally from the assessor as to the outcome. You can ask the RPL office, we can find out for you if a decision has been made on your application.

Recording the Assessment Process:
The result will be recorded on the Web for Faculty Results system by the assessor for the module. The result is entered as X (exempt) for prior formal and combination cases and as a % mark for experiential learning cases. - The assessor will hold the RPL paperwork with the exam scripts for the module. RPL cases are reviewed by the extern examiner.
-
Module Exam Boards Formalise the result:
Prior learning cases are presented along with regular assessment material for the module and the module exam boards ratify the results. Exam material and RPL material are held together. Any appeals run through regular exam appeals process.
