What is the RPLCC?

Turn Your Experience into Recognition.

The Eduvos Recognition of Prior Learning Certification Centre (RPLCC) offers a powerful way to transform your work, life, and learning experience into formal recognition, without having to repeat what you may already know.

Even if you’ve never completed a qualification, your skills and knowledge matter. Through our structured RPL process, we assess and acknowledge your learning, gained through work, short courses, or incomplete studies, with an RPL(Recognition of Prior Learning) Certificate, a formal stamp of recognition issued by Eduvos, one of South Africa’s top private higher education institutions.

The Eduvos RPL Certification Centre is underpinned by South Africa's national Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policies and our RPL Certificate is designed to open doors to opportunity, confidence, and recognition where it’s long been overdue.

How it Works
  • You send us the job specifications. Share the qualification criteria or learning outcomes required for the role you’re recruiting for.
  • If your candidate does not hold a formal qualification, we use RPL principles to map and match your shortlist or candidate’s work experience against the outcomes of the qualification you need.
  • Receive a Statement of Achievement (SoA). We identify any gaps between what your candidate knows and what they are required to know. This allows you to make an informed decision when hiring new employees. Employers are provided with a detailed SoA feedback report so that you can make an informed decision when hiring new employees
What You’ll Learn from the SoA
  • Whether the candidate has the skills and experience to perform the role.
  • Which areas, if any, require gap closure training to meet the full qualification requirements.
  • Identifies which on-the-job (OJT) areas the new hire may need support or upskilling in.
  • Helps spot potential candidates for long term talent retention and succession planning.
