The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process enables qualification of personnel through validation of their existing skills and knowledge. Meaning, a professional with previous experience in Metal Additive Manufacturing / 3D printing can apply their knowledge to an RPL process and acquire a Diploma/Record of Achievements without having to attend the mandatory classes.
This process can also be used as a benchmark for Qualification Systems in different sectors and other Qualifications and Competence Units/ Modules developed under the scope of the AM Qualification System.
The RPL scheme and stages is detailed here on pages 6 and 7.
