✅ Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – Are You Eligible Without All the Formal Qualifications?
At Activate Training, we understand that many trades people and engineers have years of valuable experience – even if they don’t hold every formal qualification listed as a course pre-requisite.
That’s why we use Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to help experienced professionals access key renewable training like:
- Heat Pumps
- Low Temperature Hot Water System Design
- Unvented Hot Water G3
- Water Regulations
🛠️ What Counts as Prior Learning?
If you’ve worked in the industry and have hands-on experience, you may still be eligible to enrol even if you don’t hold an NVQ3 – as long as you can provide:
- Employer letters confirming your job roles and tasks
- Photos or documents of work you’ve done
- Old or partial qualifications or training certificates
- Signed statements from site managers or supervisors
- A clear technical CV
🔍 What’s Next?
Our experienced tutors will carry out a quick initial assessment to see if you meet the standard through RPL. If accepted, you can start your training with confidence.
