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.
