Use the form below to join the Task Group to Make Prior Learning Recognition Transparent and Connected.

Credential Engine is launching a global task group to unlock the information that governs how prior learning is recognized and credit for it is transferred. Policies, regulations, agreements, and institutional practices shape how—or whether—a person's prior learning continues to be recognized when they move between institutions, systems, and borders. Research shows that inconsistent acceptance of credit for prior learning (CPL) leads to unclear pathways, lost recognition of legitimate learning, and unnecessary barriers for learners. 

To help close these gaps, Credential Engine is launching a short-term, global task group focused on making policies and agreements that define prior learning recognition easier to access and apply. Participants will work together to identify the kinds of requirements, conditions, and options found in CPL-related documents—so this critical information can be more clearly described, compared, connected, and used by people and systems alike.

Join this collaborative effort to shape practical ways of representing this information in CTDL so it can be adopted across jurisdictions, platforms, and systems—benefiting learners, institutions, policymakers, and the developers who build tools to support them.

All meetings will be recorded and transcribed by Credential Engine; additional AI note-taking tools will not be allowed. All meeting materials and a summary will be shared with participants.
