What is RPL and RCC?

As part of competency based training, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) is a form of assessment that acknowledges a student's previous skills, knowledge and training regardless of the means by which they have been acquired. It can allow you to fast track through the course if you consider that your previous work experience or other studies cover the competency standards of some or all of the course you are completing.
