Before deciding to submit an application for APEL.C, the learner must know and understand each stage of the APEL.C process and has realistic expectations of the possible outcomes of the application. All the general enquiries pertaining to APEL.C should be directed to APEL.C Administrator in Prior Learning Assessment Centre (PLACe) UNIMAS. The learner can call or email to make an appointment to meet the APEL.C Administrator [refer to Organization Chart].

If the learner decides to proceed with the APEL.C application, he/she must make an appointment to meet with the Advisor in his/her faculty on the advice of the APEL.C Administrator. The Advisor will advise the learner on the appropriate mode of assessment to be undertaken for the APEL.C application. The learner has the option of taking a Challenge Test or/and submitting a Portfolio upon the recommendation of the Advisor. To ensure adequate guidance given by the Advisor, the learner will be required to sign the Checklist for Advisors & Recommendations, to be given by the Advisor at the end of the pre-application stage.
