5 Why cnsider a PLAR assessment? PLAR refers t the cmbinatin f flexible ways f evaluating peple s lifelng learning, bth frmal and infrmal against a set f established standards. Yu can receive academic credit fr yur relevant lifelng learning. The Medical Radilgic Technlgy prgram recgnizes prir learning in tw ways: Previus frmal learning frm a recgnized training institutin thrugh transfer f credit. Previus infrmal learning r experiential learning thrugh a cmprehensive prir learning and recgnitin prcess. What are the PLAR ptins? The fllwing curses in the Medical Radilgic Technlgy prgram may be taken by cntinuing educatin r challenged thrugh PLAR as an unclassified student prir t being admitted t the prgram. Cmpleting prgram curses prir t admissin has n impact n admissin requirements but may reduce yur curse lad if yu are successfully admitted. APHY 191, Anatmy and Physilgy 1 ETHC 185, Prfessinal Practices 1 INFC 180, Infectin Cntrl and Safety MTER 190, Medical Terminlgy T be eligible t register fr any ther curses in this prgram, whether thrugh PLAR r cntinuing educatin, an applicant must first apply and be successfully admitted t the Medical Radilgic Technlgy prgram. Individual curse challenge If yu have (within the last five years) successful experience in the Medical Radilgic Technlgy field, and have learned the skills and knwledge fr ne r mre f the Medical Radilgic Technlgy curses, yu may apply t be assessed fr each applicable curse. Fees: There will be a charge fr each individual curse assessment. Fr a listing f the specific PLAR fees fr this prgram, pen the nline PLAR Inventry Database. Hw many curses can be challenged thrugh PLAR in the Medical Radilgic prgram? Currently we have PLAR challenges available fr 13 ut f 29 diplma curses. There is n limit. Yu may challenge as many f these curses as yu are able t prve prir skills and knwledge thrugh assessment. Prir Learning Assessment and Recgnitin Medical Radilgic Technl g y Page 5

PLAR challenges are currently being ffered prir t the start date f the curse being challenged. Is it easier t challenge a curse thrugh PLAR r take the curse? Neither is easier. By using PLAR yu may reduce the repetitin f studying infrmatin that yu already knw. The PLAR prcess allws yu t demnstrate knwledge yu already have. PLAR is nt an easy way t certificatin, rather a different way t btain certificatin. Yur persnal level f skill and experience will dictate which curses yu chse t challenge. The self-audit sectin fund later in this guide will help yu decide if yu have a gd match f skill and knwledge fr a specific curse. Methds f assessing prir learning Assessment methds measure an individual s learning against curse learning utcmes. The PLAR assessment methds listed belw are mst cmmnly used, separately r in cmbinatin, t assess learning fr Medical Diagnstic curses. Other frms f flexible assessment may be cnsidered. evidence files with requested dcuments emplyment validatins emplyer validatin checklists challenge exams perfrmance evaluatins (including skill demnstratins, rle plays, clinical applicatins, case studies) interviews and ral exams equivalency (evaluatins f learning frm nn-credit training prviders) All dcuments submitted t Saskatchewan Plytechnic may be returned t the student after the final results have been given and the grade appeal deadline f seven days has passed. A cpy f transcripts and certificates may be included in yur evidence file, but be prepared t shw riginal dcuments at the PLAR audit meeting fr validatin.

8 If I live ut f twn, d I have t travel t a main campus t d PLAR? There will be times that yu will need t meet with the prgram n campus. Hwever, we will try t keep travel t a minimum. What if I have a disability and need accessibility accmmdatins? At Saskatchewan Plytechnic, we understand that smetimes services must be prvided t students in a variety f ways t achieve the gals f fair representatin. Therefre, the range f services prvided fr students with disabilities is as diverse as the needs f thse students. We strive fr equity (nt unifrmity) and prvide varied services fr students with differing needs. If mre infrmatin is required, please cntact Accessibility Services. Are there ther ways t gain Saskatchewan Plytechnic credits fr prir learning? Transfer Credit Saskatchewan Plytechnic will grant credit fr previus training that is similar in cntent, bjectives, and evaluatin standards t Saskatchewan Plytechnic training. Transfer f credit is different frm the PLAR prcess. Transfer Credit guidelines may be fund at: It is the student s respnsibility t check with Registratin Services fr specific campus prcedures n this plicy. Fr specific infrmatin and guidelines regarding transfer f credit, cntact a Saskatchewan Plytechnic educatinal cunsellr. Equivalency Credit Equivalency credit refers t the applicatin f credit yu may have earned in a previusly taken Saskatchewan Plytechnic curse t yur current Saskatchewan Plytechnic curse. Apply at registratin services fr equivalency credit. This prcess shuld als be cmpleted prir t yur PLAR challenge. If these credits cannt be used fr equivalency credit, yu may use these accredited curses as part f yur evidence fr yur PLAR challenge.

10 Hw lng will it take t prepare evidence fr PLAR? Since the requirements are different fr each curse, and each candidate has different experiences, the amunt f time it takes t prepare yur evidence will vary. Steps t cmplete a self-audit 1. Read thrugh the levels f cmpetence as listed belw. Mastery: Cmpetent: Functinal: Learning: Nne: I am able t demnstrate the learning utcme well enugh t teach it t smene else. I can wrk independently t apply the learning utcme. I need sme assistance in using the utcme. I am develping skills and knwledge fr this area. I have n experience with the utcme. Learning utcmes Fr each learning utcme listed, please self-evaluate yur cmpetency levels and recrd in the apprpriate clumn fr each self-audit. 2. Take a few minutes and read thrugh the fllwing self-audit fr each curse yu are interested in as a PLAR candidate. 3. Check yur level f cmpetence as yu read thrugh each f the learning utcmes fr each curse. The infrmatin will help yu in yur decisin t cntinue with yur PLAR applicatin. 4. In rder t be successful in a PLAR assessment, yur abilities must be at the cmpetent r mastery level fr the majrity f the learning utcmes. Sme things t cnsider when determining yur level f cmpetence are: Hw d I currently use this utcme? What previus training have I had in this utcme: wrkshps, curses, n-thejb? What persnal develpment r vlunteer experience d I have in this area? Be prepared t explain the reasn yu chse this level if asked by an assessr. 5. Bring the cmpleted self-audit t a cnsultatin meeting with the prgram head r faculty member in step 3 PLAR prcess f the candidate prcess fr prir learning assessment.
