The use of AI in relation to credential, skill, and job data is changing the way credential providers, educational institutions, training organizations, employers, government agencies, and others are applying data-driven solutions to skills mapping, credential recommendations, career exploration, and more. The Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL) and structured data in the Credential Registry improve the accuracy and relevance of these AI applications.

Recognition of Prior Learning: Helping People Move Forward

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is the process of providing formal acknowledgment and credit for knowledge, skills, and abilities people have gained through work experience, military service, self-study, volunteering, and/or previous education. This includes credit for prior learning (CPL), transfer credit between institutions, and validation of non-traditional learning experiences. RPL empowers people to move forward and build on what they already know rather than starting over, accelerating pathways to credentials and careers.
