ABOUT APEL.C

APEL for Credit Award (APEL.C) is the award of credits through prior experiential learning towards a course in an accredited programme of higher education provider (HEP). APEL.C provides the mechanism to recognise the prior experiential learning of an individual that is relevant and specific to a course within a programme of study. The credit award is granted on the basis of the knowledge and skills acquired through informal and non-formal learning. These forms of learning which emphasise on experiential learning will need to be formally reviewed and assessed. The process will determine if learning has in fact occurred and is in line with the learning outcomes of the course(s) concerned. It is important to take note that it is the learning and not the experience of the learners which is being evaluated.
