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.

The role, functions and current challenges relating to Customs in an era of Globalisation are examined, having regard for the aims and functions of key influencers. These influencers include The World Trade Organisation (WTO); The World Customs Organisation (WCO); and trading alliances such as The Single Market, and the implications of Brexit for example.
The interaction between global trade, and how customs policies facilitate such trade is examined in the context of global trade facilitation initiatives and the role of customs and border control is examined in terms of current global and geo-political influences. The programme critically analyses situations of potential difficulty and further examines appropriate legal remedies.
