Diploma in Environment, Sustainability and Climate
NFQ Level 7 | 60 Credits
Farmers completed sustainability training with the Carbery Group and applied, measured, and recorded the changes on their farms.
Their skills and knowledge were mapped against the Diploma’s learning outcomes, resulting in 5 module exemptions through the RPL process
Identifying Prior Learning
Farmers’ skills were assessed as a group against the programme’s learning outcomes.
Evidence of learning was demonstrated through existing records, training logs, and data showing their training, work, and measurable results.
Subject experts reviewed the portfolio using a clear process:
Mapping skills to learning outcomes
Using a traffic-light system to show coverage
Applying weightings to measure achievement
The Outcome
The farmers met enough learning outcomes to gain exemptions for 40 of 60 credits and went on to complete the rest of the Diploma through blended learning.
