Recognition of Prior Learning
Candidates with further qualifications at Level 9 in education or teaching practice may also employ ATU’s Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) processes and the RPL assessment e-Portfolio tool (www.myexperience.ie) to determine if they meet the standard.
Candidates can use RPL as a means of accessing the programme. They can also use RPL to gain exemptions. This is in accordance with Code of Practice No. 6 (Policy and Procedures for the Recognition of Prior Learning).
RPL can be either certified or experiential. This validity of this RPL will be in accordance with the Code of Practice No. 6.
Furthermore, the programme makes allowances for the entry of international students holding qualifications at the appropriate level.
ATU will assess individual applicants on a case-by-case basis, in line with its RPL policy.
Where required, the programme board will also engage with ATU’s International Office to map progression from partner colleges abroad.
