Prior Learning Assessment
Through the Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program, potential participants of the CHSEP program have an opportunity to receive acknowledged course completion for related previous learning.
PLA is the systematic evaluation of the learning an individual has achieved through relevant work experience, various short training courses or learning outcomes from similar or related post-secondary programs. PLA course completion will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

To apply for a Prior Learning Assessment, an initial administration fee of $150 will be required. For each course you wish to exempt, there is a $100 fee, and you will be required to provide:
For consideration of learning through work experience and other background learning, you must supply a detailed résumé that includes all education and training as well as positions held and areas of responsibility for each. Also, the reviewer will need to see transcripts from relevant institutions, copies of certifications received and syllabi from courses taken. These syllabi normally contain the sentence, "In this course, you will learn x, y and z". Verifying the 'x,y and z' of previous learning helps ensure the fairest possible Prior Learning Assessments.
