Workplace Prior Learning and Recognition (WPLAR), is pleased to offer Igniting the Power Within!
ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING CERTIFICATION
This certification training will introduce participants to Essential Skills and Recognition of Prior Learning. It will provide them with the skills to assist individuals to identify, document and recognize the knowledge and skills they have gained not only through formal environments such as school, but also through informal situations and experiences such as family and community. This process can assist individuals to gain confidence in the knowledge, skills and gifts they already have and build on these, to reach their goals.
This training is delivered from an Igniting perspective, which respects and honours an Indigenous approach to learning and doing.
