RPL emerges from a global inclination in this century to increase a student's access to education, by articulatingvarious types and levels of education with each other, so that there can be lifelong learning and no-one is barredfrom higher education. RPL enables access to the knowledge and skills needed to work in the fast-growing sportand fitness sector where competent employees are critical for the growth of the profession and its industry (SkillsDevelopment Act, 1998, Skills Development Amendment Act, 2008). In South Africa, it was a core principle of theWhite Paper on Higher Education in the late nineties, and again in the January 2012 Green Paper for post-schooleducation and training issued by The Department of Higher Education and Training. For South Africans, RPL impliesthe entryways of learning might be opened. All higher education institutions in South African must have a policy andprocedure to assess prospective students’ RPL to see if they can enter the courses with a reasonable chance ofsuccess.
