Recognition of Prior Learning

RPL is a method of assessment that considers whether a learner can demonstrate their ability to meet the assessment requirement for a unit through skills, knowledge or understanding that they already possess and do not need to develop through a course of learning.

This means that learners can be assessed against current ASA qualifications taking into account their previous qualifications and teaching/coaching experiences.

Importantly it must be noted that RPL is not a short cut to qualifications as you must achieve the same standards and criteria as those learners attending a taught course.

• Learners with significant practical teaching/coaching experience who wish to obtain a qualification that leads to Swim England qualifications.

• Learners holding an old ASA teaching or coaching qualification and would like to update it.

• Learners who hold an overseas qualification who wish to gain UK equivalent qualifications

The table shows Level 1 Courses which will complement one another and following also with the Level 2 Courses which complement one another.
