Turn Your Experience Into an Opportunity to Learn
Have you gained valuable knowledge and skills through work experience, professional training, or life experiences but do not have the formal academic qualifications to reflect them?
Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) provides an alternative pathway for individuals to have their prior learning and experience recognised for entry into higher education.
APEL is a national framework by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) that recognises knowledge and skills gained outside the traditional classroom. It allows individuals to demonstrate what they already know and can do, based on their prior experiences and learning.
Who is APEL For?
APEL is designed for individuals who have acquired substantial knowledge and skills through experiences such as:
- Work experience and on-the-job learning
- Professional and industry experience
- Courses, workshops, and training
- Self-directed or informal learning
- Professional achievements and practical experience
- Life and community experiences
Whether you are an experienced working professional, an adult learner, or someone looking to continue your education through an alternative route, APEL may provide an opportunity to progress towards higher education.
