Prior Learning Assessment – Policy and Practice in PA
With an increased emphasis on a “highly-skilled workforce”, students of all ages are exploring ways to expand their skills and get the education and training they need to stay in their current jobs, find employment or compete for higher-paying positions.
Yet, for many, beginning a program or completing a college degree is difficult due to financial constraints, limited time, family and professional obligations and so much more.
For these students, prior learning assessment may be the solution.
Students – Turn Your Life Long Learning into College Credit!
Adult learners have personal and professional learning experiences that often can earn them college credit and set them on a path toward a degree in higher education. Colleges and universities refer to this as "prior learning" since the experiences occurred before enrolling in college. Learn how you can save time and money by taking advantage of prior learning assessment opportunities.
Administrators – Learn How Institutions Use PLA to Reach Adult Learners
