Why RPL Matters?

TIMES and EIU–Paris introduced the RPL framework to expand access to higher education and to formally recognize the value of professional and life experience. RPL acknowledges learning acquired through:

• Workplace practice and professional achievements

• Non-formal and informal experiences

By doing so, RPL not only validates your past accomplishments but also promotes lifelong learning, giving you the recognition you deserve while accelerating your academic and career journey.
