The Namibia Training Authority has embarked on a series of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) induction workshops from 11 April to 31 July 2023.
The term RPL refers to a broad spectrum of processes, all aimed at reaching a judgment of an individual’s personal particulars, current competencies, work and life experience, and formal and/or non-formal learning, assessed against transparent criteria, for a variety of purposes.
NTA Assessment Manager, Nicoletta Kooper explains that the workshops are necessitated by the RPL program having reached the stage where the qualified applicants need to be given the required support and enable them to gather sufficient, relevant, and current evidence, which they will be required to put in their Portfolio of Evidence (PoE).
“It goes without saying that all these activities are explained to candidates and mentors during the induction sessions. Induction is then followed by mentorship process, where candidates are guided by the mentors during the compilation of the PoE.”, Kooper added.
Interested stakeholders are encouraged to contact Assessment RPL Coordinator: Ben-Ellis Tjikuere at 061-2078 216 or btjikuere@nta.com.na or Millicach Mabuta at 061-2078 220 or mmabuta@nta.com.na
