The assessments will assess the comparability of the experiential learning acquired by learners to the learning outcomes of a course within an existing programme.
Learners will undertake either one of the following:
(a) Challenge Test
Proctored standard test to assess if the learner has achieved the course learning outcome(s).
Can be in the form of a written test, oral examination and/ or performance assessment; depending on the nature and discipline of the course.
(b) Submission of Portfolio
A formal set of documents that contains a compilation of evidences documenting the prior experiential learning of a learner, accompanied by learning statements that articulate the learning acquired over a period of time.
The portfolio is prepared by the learner to demonstrate that the learning acquired is relevant and specific to the course learning outcome(s) of a particular course.
APEL.C provides an avenue to assess relevant experiential learning of the individual which leads to the award of credits for courses.
APEL.C is the award of credits for the prior experiential learning towards a course in an accredited programme of higher education provider (HEP).
