About RPL

The National Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in Higher Education Project is a five-year project, funded by the Human Capital Initiative Pillar 3 (Innovation and Agility) and co-sponsored by the Technological Higher Education Association (THEA) and the Irish Universities Association (IUA).

The project has three main aims, which are:

  • to continue to embed, streamline and promote RPL, particularly the recognition of non-formal and informal learning, across the sector in a manner that is coherent and consistent;
  • to work with employers to increase access and progression opportunities in areas of skills needs;
  • to enhance the sector’s capacity to operate RPL by developing useful tools, materials, resources and professional development opportunities for staff.
