This is a print publication available for purchase from the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL). Based on a CAEL survey, the Guidebook outlines the use and acceptance of prior learning assessment methodologies in postsecondary institutions in the United States. These include: portfolio, standardized exams, challenge exams, the formal assessment of non-college programs by ACE and local institutions, and assessment of nationally-recognized certificates of achievement. See further information on the CAEL site.

I am a candidate in the Ad Hoc PhD program at McGill University, Montreal in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education. The following is an excerpt from my literature review for my doctoral work entitled: Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) programs in Canada and the role of globalization.

This is the third section of the lit. review which is an overview of the contemporary status of prior learning assessment programs in Canada and the different levels of activity within participating provinces.
