CPQ Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Policy

1. Purpose & Basis

This policy closes a gap in the founding pack. The CPQ-T framework allows verified external education to be considered, and this policy provides a fair, documented evaluation of learning and practice gained outside CPQ programmes without compromising minimum quality.

2. Eligible Prior Learning

• Coaching diplomas or certificates from a legally documented education provider.
• Documented practice hours with a dated log and client attestation where possible.
• Documented supervision or mentoring hours from a known supervisor.
• Relevant professional training within the Scope Standard.

3. Evaluation Process

1. Submit an RPL application and evidence.
2. Verify source authenticity.
3. Credentials & Assessment Committee review.
4. Written decision: full, partial or declined with reasons.
5. Appeal within 30 days under CPQ-ECR.

4. Limits & Safeguards

RPL may not substitute for CPQ ethics/knowledge assessment, direct practical assessment, or the signed ethics acknowledgement, and may not exceed 50% of total qualifying education for the target tier. Decisions are reconsidered after material standards changes.
