RPL is the recognition of an individual's learning outcomes obtained from formal, non-formal, informal education, and/or work experience as the basis for continuing formal education and for equivalency with certain qualifications. ITSM organizes RPL to provide opportunities for the community to continue their formal education to a higher level, which ultimately results in formal proof of learning in the form of a diploma. The recognized prior learning and/or experience may come from formal education at another university, from non-formal or informal education, and/or from work experience (Type A).

The general requirements for applying for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) include having relevant learning experiences related to the desired field or study program, as well as providing evidence to support the claimed competencies, such as diplomas, transcripts, accreditation certificates of the previous university and study program, curriculum vitae, and self-evaluation forms. In addition, the requirements may vary depending on the policies of each institution or study program.

• Types of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Type A

  1. Cross-Level, moving from one level of study to a higher one.
  2. Level Advancement, to pursue studies at a higher level than previously completed.
  3. Transfer, moving to a different or the same study program at the same level.
