Accreditation of prior learning (APL)
If you feel you already know some of the topics covered in this course, either due to previous learning or from work experience, you may not need to study all of the course.
Accreditation of APL is the name given to the process of gaining credit towards a qualification because of something you have learnt in the past. If you are eligible for APL you won't have to learn the same topic again and can be exempt from a module, set of modules or year of a course.
