Dates: Monday September 7, 2009 – Monday September 6, 2010
The International Prior Learning Assessment Network (IPLAN) is an outcome of discussions at international conferences of the Canadian Association for Prior Learning (CAPLA), funded by the Government of Canada through HRSDC.

The vision is an international community of practitioners involved in the field of recognition of prior learning, where resources, research and best practices could be shared and discussed on an ongoing basis. To initiate discussion and identify initial activities, CAPLA’s www.recognitionforlearning.ca website will be the platform, and consultations and discussions will take place at international conferences. As well, a webcast with international access will be implemented at each CAPLA conference.
