Prior Learning Assessment
UNB Online has a prior learning assessment process whereby a student's previous learning can be evaluated and may be credited toward the Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety. Previous learning may include courses completed at other Universities and Colleges within the last decade or other industry training programs similar to courses in the UNB COHS program.
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) refers to the evaluation of learning an individual has achieved through formal educational experiences. It provides evidence that an individual has attained the expected learning outcomes of courses/programs taken previously.
To apply for a prior learning assessment the applicant will be required to:
- complete and submit the online PLA application;
- submit the assessment fee;
- submit all documentation to be assessed. This must include certificates, transcripts and course learning outcomes for all courses being assessed for credit;
- identify the courses in which they are seeking credit.
