What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.

By a dual approach of improving one’s traditional and contemporary skills students can learn to create better likenesses as well as work towards their own processes. It also introduces the participant to visual research and to sketchbook practice. Life drawing is an opportunity to really connect with the world around you, and work with and respond to a live model, as well as take part in personalised as well as group feedback.
