Automated RPL
Automated recognition of prior learning
Our research has shown that it can take a higher education provider up to 60 days to process an application for credit, and the estimated annual cost to the sector is $36.5 million.
Our academic course credit management system – Advance – eradicates administrative bottlenecks and accelerates application turnaround. Streamlined and automated processes, application triaging and integrated workflow management simplify the assessment cycle, giving your institution greater confidence to set and achieve higher service and performance benchmarks.
