For candidates seeking entry without the prerequisite qualifications, or in cases where there is a lack of academic qualifications but an abundance of relevant knowledge and skills (acquired through work experience related to the field of study) Cornerstone Performance Solutions does implement a process of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), where by applicants must demonstrate suitability for admission, which will be at the Registrar’ s discretion on a case-by-case basis, whereby knowledge and experiences will be formally assessed to determine if a prospective candidate qualifies for the minimum admission requirements of the programme. This allows for the development of an equitable education system that facilitates access to, mobility and progression.
Cornerstone Performance Solutions will also allow candidates access through mature age exemption, which gives applicants provisional acceptance, granted that they pass the first module of the programme, after which the provisional status will be converted to full acceptance. In the event that a prospective student is unsuccessful in achieving the above, alternative options will be discussed with the candidate.
