Learning must be sufficient. Self-assessment, direct evidence, and indirect evidence must evidence learning outcomes. Learning must be current in that evidence should demonstrate the learning of skills, knowledge and judgements within the last 5 - 10 years depending upon the skills in question. Questions about currency should be directed towards the PLA advisor. The evidence must be produced by the person seeking PLA credit or be produced on behalf of the individual in order to validate the skills and knowledge of the individual.
Assessment involves expert judgement based on explicit performance criteria.
