Prior Learning Assessment & Qualification Recognition Information

Prior Learning Assessment Recognition Process

As a student enrolled at University Canada West, a prior learning assessment may help you to complete your degree faster and save you money in the process.

Our Prior Learning Assessment Recognition process examines learning and training taken outside of a traditional university classroom and determines if it is equivalent to the curriculum in your program and eligible for credit. More information on prior learning assessment is available through your Student Enrolment Representative.

Training that May Be Eligible for Prior Learning Assessments

The Prior Learning Assessment process is an excellent tool that may grant you credit for training taken outside of the traditional university setting.  The following are types of learning and training that may be eligible for Prior Learning Assessment Recognition:

• Professional Training.

• Corporate training – Any training that you have taken through your employer, as long as it is relevant to your program, is eligible for review under the Prior Learning Assessment Recognition process.

• Certificates and Licenses – Training you received in order to obtain a specific certification or license may also be taken into consideration under the Prior Learning Assessment Recognition process.

• Courses taken through non-traditional learning formats.
