Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the acknowledgement of experience, skills and knowledge pertaining to gymnastics coaching.

Under the coaching framework of Singapore Gymnastics, coaches may apply for RPL for the following SG accreditation:

  • Fundamentals Gymnastics Course
  • Intermediate Gymnastics Course (discipline specific)

While it is important to recognise the knowledge and skills of coaches who come to the country, it is equally important to ensure that their knowledge and skills reflect the modern approach to coaching that Singapore Gymnastics (SG) supports. For this reason the focus is on the coach’s readiness to coach in Singapore rather than purely an assessment of the coach’s experience and technical knowledge.

For detailed information please check the RPL Policy.

Depending on your current accreditation, the following tables will clarify the different paths to RPL. Please identify where you are in the table and follow the process from there. 

Note

  • Please ensure that all supporting documents are uploaded as per requested in each form.
  • RPL application will take up to 8-12 weeks to process.
  • Successful applicants will receive complimentary SG Technical Membership for the calendar year.
  • Unsuccessful applicants, will receive complimentary registration for the next Singapore Gymnastics Coaching they are eligible for. 
  • For any accreditation, applicants must have completed Standard First Aid
