CPQLTDecognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Policy
🆕 New document — added to close a gap before activation — A mechanism to count documented external education and practice within the CPQLTD-T requirements
Browse standards & credentials
1 Purpose and basis
The CPQLTD-T credentialing framework (CPQLTD-CRED-2026-v1.1) permits documented external education to be considered under a separate policy; this is that policy. The purpose is a fair, documented assessment of learning and practice acquired outside CPQLTD programmes without compromising the minimum quality threshold for credentialing.
2 Qualifying prior learning
Coaching diplomas or certificates issued by a legally documented education provider.
Documented practice hours with a dated log and a client attestation where possible.
Prior supervision or mentoring hours documented by a known supervisor.
Relevant professional training (such as licensed psychological counselling) within limits set by the scope standard.
4 Limits and safeguards
RPL may not replace:
✗ CPQLTD’s own ethics and knowledge assessment.
✗ The direct practical (micro-teaching/performance) assessment.
✗ The signed ethics acknowledgement.
✗ More than 50% of the total qualifying-education requirement for the target tier.
Any RPL decision is re-assessed if the reference standards change materially, and every decision is documented in the applicant’s file.
