Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition (PLAR) is a process that identifies, assesses and recognizes prior skills, competencies and knowledge. These may have been acquired through formal, informal, nonformal, or experiential learning via post-secondary education, work/industry experience, training, independent study, or volunteer activities. PLAR is assessed on an individual basis by your academic department and has a non-refundable fee.
Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition for Health Care Aides is available to students applying towards the Practical Nurse program.
