What can I get credit for?
Recognition of Prior Learning
(otherwise known as Accreditation of Prior Learning) takes 2 forms:
Certificated learning:
If you’ve undertaken
a course accredited by another institution within the past 5 years,
and it’s relevant to the Degree, the universities will recognise
this learning and award you credit towards your degree, reducing
the work you will have to undertake. This includes several RAF courses
such as JMLC, IMLC, AMLC, JOCC and ISSC. Your Personal Learning
Advisor can advise you on the complete list.
Experiential learning:
But it’s not only
courses that can help you progress. During your RAF career, it’s
likely that you will have gained experience in a wide variety of
interesting and challenging roles. This experience can be used and
developed by the universities. By putting together a Portfolio of
Evidence to demonstrate what you’ve achieved in the past and
reflecting upon this, you will be able to claim further credit in
order to achieve a degree.
The recognition of your
prior learning will reduce the time needed to gain the qualification
and also the cost and will enable you to make more effective use
of your Enhanced Learning Credits.
