The Board strongly supports and encourages life long learning and continued professional development. However, it is possible that your experience and level of functioning outweighs the academic level you have attained. Should you wish to apply for a higher level of registration than your academic qualification allows, you may submit an RPL certificate issued by a provider accredited by the Board (currently the Universities and Technikons). The Board reserves the right to accept or not accept such an RPL certificate. The Board is also investigating alternate RPL procedures.
