Step 3 - Review What You Already Know

At step 2 you looked at the unit descriptors. You now need to review the unit aims, unit syllabus and unit learning outcomes of each of the units that make up your degree. If you have already done the things listed under aims, have learned how to do the things listed under learning outcomes and know and understand the items mentioned in the syllabus, you should be able to claim credit for this prior learning. To review what you know go through each of the units one at a time and where you think you might claim use the claim form to note down what you know and where you learned it.
