You can submit an RPL request by completing this form. Please refer to TQUK’s [Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) policy](https://servicehub.tquk.org/hubfs/Marketing%20website/Accredited%20and%20Recognised%20Prior%20Learning%20policy.pdf?hsLang=en) for full details on submitting a request.

It is not possible to submit an RPL request for our maths assessment. This is because, whilst other Awarding Organisations may offer their maths assessments across two papers, ours is in one. The way that these papers are designed means that we would not be able to accurately and consistently identify which parts of our exam had been covered by other Awarding Organisations.
