This document provides guidance on preparing a portfolio for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to earn credits for a program. It outlines the main sections of an RPL portfolio, including a CV, job description, learning achieved, and verification with evidence. Learners are instructed to present a case against 3 sample learning outcomes by drawing on their own experience and including proof in the portfolio to back up their learning against each outcome. A declaration would also be signed at the back of the completed portfolio.
