Signing off courses in Click - Accreditation of Prior Learning


Title:
Signing off outcomes using Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL)

Summary:
This article explains how managers can sign off Care Certificate outcomes or sections by recording evidence of a learner’s previous experience or qualifications.


Steps:

  1. Know that Click Learning allows managers to sign off individual outcomes or full sections at any time.

  2. Before signing anything off, gather clear evidence that shows the learner is already competent. This is called Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL).

  3. Review the learner’s past experience, certificates or training to decide which outcomes they no longer need to complete.

  4. Go to the learner’s results page in Click Learning.

  5. Add evidence to explain why you believe the learner is competent in the selected outcomes or sections.

  6. Sign off the relevant outcomes or sections once the evidence has been added.


Example:
Grace is a new care worker in a residential home.
She previously worked as a Learning Support Assistant and has certificates in First Aid, Food Safety and Safeguarding Children.
Her employer decides she does not need to repeat the Basic Life Support or Safeguarding Children standards because her recent certificates meet the required level.
The manager adds evidence to Grace’s results to explain this and signs off the relevant outcomes.


Tips or Common Issues:

• Make sure the evidence is recent and relevant to the learner’s role.
• Only sign off outcomes if you are confident the learner is already competent.
• Add clear notes so that auditors, inspectors or future managers understand why the outcome was signed off.
• If you are unsure, ask the learner to complete the assessment or repeat the training.
