Prior to submitting the APEL.C application, the learner must complete a self-assessment exercise and submit a 500-word report related to the course applied for, based on the instructions given. This requirement is necessary to determine if the learner should proceed with the APEL.C application. The learner should also submit his/her curriculum vitae (CV) (3 pages), giving details of work history, training or other formal qualification relevant to his/her application. The learner is given ONE (1) week to complete and submit the self-assessment exercise, 500-word report and CV to the Advisor. The Advisor will determine the eligibility and make an appropriate recommendation.

If the Advisor believes that the learner’s application is likely to succeed, the learner may complete the application form and submit the application fees, before proceeding to the assessment stage.

But, if the Advisor believes that the application is unlikely to succeed, the learner will be advised accordingly and the application process will cease.
