APEL for Credit Award (APEL.C) grants credits for prior experiential learning relevant to a course within an accredited program offered by a higher education provider (HEP).
APEL.C serves as a mechanism to formally recognize and validate the individual’s relevant prior learning that aligns with specific courses within their program of study.
Credits are awarded based on knowledge and skills gained through informal and non-formal learning. This type of experiential learning undergoes a formal review and assessment process to ensure it meets the course’s learning outcomes.
