Prior learning
Give experience a language others can understand.
People develop skills through employment, projects, informal learning and community activity. Describing that learning means moving beyond the title of an activity to the decisions, knowledge and capability involved.
A useful account explains the context, your contribution and what changed in your understanding. Concrete examples make the conversation more informative than a list of broad personal qualities.
Formal recognition follows the requirements of the relevant institution or system. The terminology and evidence expected may differ, so begin with the organisation whose recognition you are seeking.
