Ms Bernie McNally:

That is there already. When anybody applies to do a course, they should be able to say that they have done a course already and ask for a reduction in the number of modules they need to do. Recognition of prior learning, RPL, should be available as part of most courses. In some instances, the colleges, etc., will say that the course was relevant and they will give a reduction. In others, they will say it is not relevant or it was done too long ago.
