Abstract
Transformative learning is not the goal or learning objective of a recognition of acquired competencies (RAC) process. The authors of this chapter suggest transformative learning is a possible by-product of this process which is an exercise in critical self-reflection and demonstration of competencies. Although unintentional, the RAC process is somewhat aligned with Mezirow's phases of transformative learning. A challenge is that it is empirically difficult to measure the phases or the outcome of transformative learning. However, by examining the narratives of female immigrant learners in a RAC process, this chapter explores the potential of transformative learning as a by-product of their respective experiences in the recognition of their prior learning.
