About the Community of Learning (CoL)

The CoL is a participant-driven space, open to anybody interested in RPL/PLAR: CAPLA will facilitate the sessions, but the community will shape them. This is a safe space where we can discuss, share, and support each other in the RPL/PLAR work that we do.

If you are relatively new to the RPL/PLAR field, come and benefit from collaboration with seasoned RPL/PLAR practitioners: it's a great opportunity to network and find the support you need. If you are a more established RPL/PLAR Practitioner, it's a great place to discuss your work with like-minded colleagues, share and find potential answers to issues and challenges in your service delivery.
