How? – an overview of the APEL process
Although the APEL process can be used to gain exceptional entry to or exemption from a programme of study, this is not its primary purpose. The APEL process focuses on assessment and certification of the prior learning and experience.
Deliverables
At the end of the process, a successful candidate could be awarded:
Entry to an academic course of study
- Exemption from elements of the proposed course of study
- Credit points towards an academic qualification
- Units/modules recognised by a Certificate of Achievement
- Units/modules accumulated towards a full qualification
- A full qualification.
These outcomes are based on an examination of the principal
objectives and competences of the courses prescribed by the institution
to which you are applying.
Your prior qualifications and experience are compared against those
objectives and competences. For the prior learning and experience to be
deemed to be of value, you must demonstrate a good match between your
prior learning and experience and the specified learning objectives and
competences. This is the essence of the APEL process.
Steps in the APEL process
The APEL process is essentially about three processes:
- identifying what a person can do
- equating those skills and knowledge with specific standards or requirements and
- crediting the learner in an appropriate manner
