KNOWLEDGE is the currency of the 21st-century economy, and meeting the ever-increasing need for qualified, highly skilled workers is the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).
Introduced and approved by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency, APEL widens access to higher education for adult learners who have a rich work experience, but lack academic qualifications.
The APEL C pathway provides credit transfer for entry into diploma programmes right up to PhD.
APEL C, or Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning via Credit Transfer, allows assessment of credits against matching modules in a programme of study. Once an APEL C applicant’s competency level is determined, those credits can shorten his or her entire study duration considerably, saving time and money.
For example, an applicant presenting only SPM for a university entrance application would usually qualify for diploma studies only. With APEL C, it is possible to pursue a bachelor’s degree directly.
