We know that learning takes place outside of the classroom. With Prior Learning Experience,
you can get credit for what you’ve learned in the workplace or the community.
Earning Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) can reduce the time involved in earning your
degree and save you money; the more CPL that you earn, the fewer courses you need
to take to complete your certificate or degree.
