Florida Bay University (FBU), we recognize the value of real-world experience. Our Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) program allows adult learners to save time and reduce tuition costs by awarding credit for college-level knowledge gained outside the traditional classroom setting. As a leader in this field for over fifty years, FBU has supported the development of CPL programs across numerous colleges and universities, helping them grow and improve their assessment methods.
Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) refers to a range of approaches used by colleges, universities, and training providers to evaluate and formally acknowledge learning acquired beyond the academic environment. This learning can be applied toward college credit, certifications, or advanced standing in a degree or training program. The process is also commonly known as Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
