PLAR Profile and Proof of Learning Checklist

Advisor Checklist: Helping Clients Develop a PLAR Profile and Proof of Learning Plan

Development Date: August 2007
Author(s): Canadian Association for Prior Learning Assessment, Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks

A two page schematic with descriptors and checklists to help advisors incorporate assessment and documentation of Essential Skills and Canadian Language Benchmarks within prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR). This piece will be particularly valuable in working with immigrant and potential immigrant clients, but also valuable for working with clients with various literacy levels.

The Canadian Association for Prior Learning Assessment (CAPLA) and the Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks (CCLB) have partnered on the development of this piece. The project was supported by the Adult Learning Knowledge Centre, an initiative of the Canadian Council on Learning. Please feel free to download the  PLAR Profile Checklist and make copies if that is useful to you. Feedback on the piece is invited. Write to us at info@language.ca.
