Provide source regarding late RPL

[guilhermebpnr]

The inclusion of the official source of the following information in the FAQ page would be appreciated (as I couldn't find it anywhere 🥴).

Can we still apply RPL for Google IT Support course anytime during this semester or next

• You can apply at any time before you take your first level 5 module.

I don't think this is mentioned clearly anywhere, but logically speaking, we cannot enroll in modules at level 5 while there are still modules at level 4 that haven't been attempted — the exception being that it is possible to enroll via the normal route (not RPL) to attempt any remaining module(s) at level 4 while selecting the first few modules at level 5.

That would mean that it is not possible to enroll at level 5 while the RPL for Google IT Support hasn't been approved by UoL yet as that would constitute a blocker and you would first need to enroll in the remaining modules at level 4 (i.e., you would need to choose How Computers Work via the non-RPL route to be able to also select modules at level 5).

The progression rules are described in section 5.11 of the programme regulations.

The above explanations were added to the FAQ in the relevant section. Please feel free to re-open this issue if you find a need to improve these changes further. 😉
