Background
In order to launch the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in 2007, the Mauritius Qualifications Authority (MQA) formulated an RPL Policy to stipulate broad guidelines with regard to the RPL
implementation. The policy was drafted based on international best practices as a result of various
consultations and collaboration with organisations like Commonwealth of Learning (COL),
UNESCO Institute of Lifelong Learning (UIL) and Académie de la Reunion. In essence, the policy

Facilitators and Assessors.
