skills, attitude and values associated with a specific unit standard, the opportunity to
apply for RPL.
The objective of RPL is to provide learners who may have been disadvantaged in
terms of formal education in the past, with the opportunity to formalise their
qualifications. The aim is to redress inequalities of the past by applying a fair process
and consistent measures to the assessment of previous learning.
