Abstract

The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process can be conceived as a threshold through which learners make the transition from informal to formal learning. This paper examines learners’ experiences following RPL and discusses the balance between flexibility (recognition of a wide range of learning) and structure (preparation for the university environment).
