The review of the PQ Framework in Northern Ireland in 2003 highlighted the need for greater recognition of prior learning in all its forms. Consequently the NI PQ Framework which was developed and introduced in April 2007 makes provision for candidates to obtain credit for and formal acknowledgement of learning and/or achievement already gained elsewhere. This process is known as Accreditation of Prior Learning APL) and can involve either learning that has been gained through experience (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning-APEL) or through a formal, certificated programme of learning (Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning –APCL). An APL claim can be made for any Requirement in any of the Awards within the NI PQ Framework.
