dc.description.abstract	According to outcome 3 of the National Plan for Higher Education (2001: 28), recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an important avenue for increasing the intake of non-traditional students and adult learners. Although some institutions of higher learning have implemented RPL in isolation, the Widening Participation (Access) Project of the Free State Higher and Further Education and Training Trust (FSHFETT) is the first to regard regional collaboration as a way of implementing RPL. In this article the principles and processes of the regional RPL project are discussed and the challenges highlighted. If implemented correctly, RPL at regional level could be a powerful means for higher education institutions to meet the targets of student access more effectively, while maximising the use of scarce resources.	en_US
