Recognition of Prior Learning

Credit for what you already know

At ADVEX we value the knowledge and skills you have gained through past experience. Through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process, our accredited programmes allow previous learning — formal, non-formal or informal — to be recognised and credited towards your qualification.

What is recognised

Formal learningStructured programmes at a school, college or university that resulted in a recognised qualification
Non-formal learningStructured training outside formal education — workplace training, professional development, workshops
Informal learningExperience, self-directed learning and practice — on-the-job skills, community engagement, personal projects

How it works

01

Initial consultation

We discuss your prior learning and how it aligns with your chosen programme, and advise on the evidence required.

02

Evidence

Either a portfolio — certificates, training records, employer endorsements, reflective accounts — or a challenge test: a practical assessment, interview or written test.

03

Assessment

Qualified academic staff assess your evidence against the programme or module criteria to determine credits or exemptions.

04

Credit awarded

Credits reduce the workload required to complete your qualification, letting you focus on advanced learning rather than repeating ground already covered.

Study
RPL is endorsed by SQA and the SCQF, giving it credibility beyond Thailand.
