Access, Transfer & Progression

Glin National College Statement On Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Glin National College's policy is to provide our learners with clear, concise and detailed information about our courses. We recognise our learners’ prior training records and consider this when accepting people onto our courses, allowing learners access to advanced training where their record allows. We enable learners to transfer or progress onto another course offered by Glin National College or another provider, leading to an award within the National Framework of Qualifications, where possible.

In the form of a portfolio or C.V. with supporting documents, the learner can submit evidence of experiential learning.

Evidence can take many forms, including

1. Samples, photographs or videos of your work

2. A practical 'on the job' assessment by a previous supervisor

3. Answers to questions in an interview

4. A simulation of a work activity

5. Letters from your employers

6. Performance management reports

7. Copies of documents you have completed at work

8. Certificates

9. Any other evidence that is valid, sufficient, authentic and current

In the context of assessment, reasonable accommodation is the term for the adaptation of the assessment as necessary to cater to learners' needs whose personal situation means that the assessment would otherwise be unfair, e.g. learners with a disability and other learners covered by equality legislation.

Any adaptation of the assessment by the Assessor should facilitate the learner's demonstration of their achievement of the learning outcomes without significantly altering the standard. Special assessment arrangements/adaptations are not intended to and should not reduce the validity and reliability of the assessment or compromise the standard.
