RPL stands for Recognition of Prior Learning.  

"Recognition of Prior learning refers to the process of recognition of the knowledge, skills and competence an individual learner already has howsoever acquired. It is a relatively new concept in education and training in Ireland and is recognised as essential to the promotion of life long learning." (FETAC, 2011)

"Recognition of learning that has taken place, but not necessarily been assessed or measured, prior to entering a programme. Such prior learning may have been acquired through formal, non-formal and informal routes" (National Qualifications Authority, 2011)
