APEL Policy permits professionals to leverage their work experience for course credits and accelerate their learning process. Exemption under the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) Policy allows you to earn academic credit or be exempt from certain course modules based on your existing work experience. We aim to acknowledge and validate your acquired skills, knowledge, and competencies outside of the traditional academic setting.
For instance:- Consider you are applying for a Master Degree in Public Health and have over five years' experience as an Epidemiologist in the healthcare sector. You will have the opportunity to bypass the entire epidemiology module owing to your practical domain exposure.
Under APEL policy, professionals are given a direct advantage over course fees because of their previous work experience. You are required to present your work history, detailed achievements, and relevant documentation. Our team of experts will review and validate this information, awarding you academic credits or exemptions and accelerating your higher education journey. ”Under APEL, you will only have to pay half of the module fee as applicable. In accordance with the APEL standard, you will be required to pay only 50% of the module fee you have been exempt from.
If this is the case, the maximum number of course exemptions is determined by the depth of your experience, your core expertise, and position within the organizational hierarchy. Considering the maximum limit, professionals with substantial and relevant experience may qualify for more than one module exemption.
All exempted modules will be marked as “Pass” or 50% grade. No merit or distinction grades will be granted for the exempted modules.
