Get Qualified with UCOL’s Assessment of Prior Learning Service
Do you have valuable experience, skills, and knowledge from your work or life experiences?
At UCOL, we recognise the importance of what you've learned outside the classroom. Our Assessment of Prior Learning service can help you turn your real-world skills into formal qualifications. UCOL can evaluate these skills to see if they can be formally recognized and credited toward a relevant qualification.
Fast-Track Your Qualification: If you’re looking to advance your career, your existing skills might allow you to get a head start on a qualification without needing to attend training for what you already know. This means you can continue working while earning your qualification.
The Process:
- Talk to a Specialist: One of our friendly specialists can guide you through the process.
- Gather Evidence: Collect evidence of your relevant skills, knowledge, and experience.
- Self-Assessment: Assess your skills and knowledge to see how they align with UCOL qualifications.
- Apply: Submit an application for our Assessment of Prior Learning service (a fee applies).
- Formal Assessment: Undergo a formal assessment with a UCOL staff member who will evaluate your evidence. This may include practical tests (e.g., in a lab, kitchen, or workshop) and professional conversations about your expertise.
Get started today and turn your experience into a recognised qualification with UCOL.
