The document summarizes key findings from a 2018 Danish government report on validation of prior learning (VPL). The report found strong support for VPL but lack of public knowledge about it. It noted VPL was being used more widely, such as for certificates of partial or full programs, personal education plans, and shortening programs. However, the quality of VPL varied greatly between institutions and there were fewer training courses for VPL staff in 2018 compared to 2010. Barriers to wider VPL use in Nordic countries included lack of public awareness, difficulty communicating VPL to applicants, insufficient funding and legislation not ensuring standardization.
