Policy and Criteria for Credit Accumulation and Transfer within the National Qualifications Framework (as amended, 2021)

Support for the supplementary work needed to address gaps found in CAT processes

 

Where the CAT comparison process finds overlaps of less than 80% between the content and outcomes for which credits have already been awarded, and the modules/ subjects for which CAT is sought, the relevant recognised provider:

 

a. may choose to not recognise any credit accumulated, and must provide advice and guidance on other learning pathway possibilities for the candidate, or
b. may conduct a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process to assess the informal and non-formal knowledge and skills of the applicant that may address the gap, and
c. may require the learner to do supplementary work before credits are recognised.
