Assess CPL in minutes
Attract more adult learners
AI accelerates, humans decide
Manual CPL assessment is slowing enrollment and costing your institution revenue.
Enrollment is under pressure
Rising costs and a shrinking pool of traditional students are squeezing institutions.
CPL is a proven answer
Recognizing prior learning can save eligible students thousands in tuition and open a clear path to enroll.
Manual review doesn't scale
Assessing eligibility by hand can take staff weeks or months per applicant.
As a result, eligible CPL applicants and the enrollment they represent — slip away every semester.
The students you're missing outnumber the ones you're chasing.
Most colleges pour their budget into competing for a shrinking pool of traditional students.
Meanwhile, a much larger group — adult learners who already have the experience to earn credit — goes unreached. ArchieCPL® helps you recognize that learning fast, and turn a whole new market into enrolled students.

What is Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)?
Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) is a formal process colleges use to grant academic credit for knowledge and skills a person has already gained outside the classroom — through work, life experience, military service, professional training or industry certifications.
Instead of repeating what they already know, learners can have that learning assessed and converted into real course credit, saving time and tuition. It's also known as PLA or PLAR.
Assessing that credit by hand is slow and inconsistent. ArchieCPL® automates that work, making CPL faster and easier to manage, with your staff in control of every decision.
