Document outlining the RARPA approach to recognising and recording progress and achievement
in non-accredited learning

RARPA – recognising and recording progress and achievement in non-accredited learning

The RARPA approach is being introduced as a priority measure. It should be applied to all areas of non-accredited learning that is LSC funded, apart from full-time 16-19 provision. The document within Downloads outlines the action that providers need to take to introduce RARPA.

“The key themes of RARPA are that:

  • the learner is at the centre of the RARPA approach
  • the purpose of introducing RARPA is to enhance the learners’ experience
  • the application of RARPA should be fit for purpose
  • the approach, both in the staged process and the quality assurance of learning, is to be unbureaucratic
  • the approach should complement and integrate with existing processes for quality assurance and learner recording
  • the staged process is mapped to the new Common Inspection Framework (CIF) and should encourage effective self-assessment and evidence of effective learning processes at inspection”

The document Planning Learning and Recording Progress and Achievement (DfES,2003) should provide a useful guide to Skills for Life pracitioners introducing RARPA. You can order the guide from DfES Publications Tel. 0845 6022 260, order code PLRA1.
