QAA Scotland worked with the higher education sector to develop the RPL National Framework in Scotland, with the key purposes to:

expand and embed RPL to a much wider extent in the higher education sector 
raise awareness of and increase transparency of RPL processes for staff and students
reduce inconsistencies in RPL processes between and within HEIs 
allow HEIs and other organisations to share and develop practice in RPL in a consistent and sustainable manner.

The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) toolkit, developed in 2014, is based around the Viewpoints method, a project led by the University of Ulster. The toolkit offers staff and students a practical way to develop RPL initiatives.

The resource consists of a sets of three cards, which you can use in a variety of workshop sessions. Each set deals with a different part of the RPL implementation process:

Developing understanding about and engagement with RPL
Departmental preparation and planning for RPL provision
Implementing RPL in programmes

The accompanying toolkit handbook explains the method behind the toolkit and gives valuable guidance about how to use it.

In 2010 we ran the European case studies project, with the aim to gather case studies on RPL in Scottish HEI's and the rest of Europe.
