SEGi University is excited to announce a unique opportunity for educators and professionals to convert their extensive work experience into formal academic qualifications through the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning for Qualification (APEL Q). This programme allows you to earn a Bachelor in Education (Hons) in just six months!
If you are a working professional, especially a teacher with at least 15 years of experience, APEL Q offers a streamlined and cost-effective way to formalize your skills and knowledge. Instead of the conventional three-year degree programme, you can earn your Bachelor’s in as fast as six months. This programme recognises your practical experience, saving you time and money, making it the perfect solution for busy professionals.
The Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning for Qualifications (APEL.Q) is a programme developed and recognised by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). It is designed to evaluate and assess an individual’s prior experiential learning, including formal, informal, and non-formal education, to award academic qualifications.
APEL.Q was created to promote lifelong learning, facilitate access to higher education for non-traditional students, and ensure that practical knowledge and skills acquired through work and life experiences are formally recognized and validated. This process helps reduce redundant learning, making higher education more accessible and efficient for adult learners.
The Bachelor in Education (Hons) programme at SEGi University offers four specialisations: Guidance and Counselling, Special Needs Education, TESL, and Early Childhood Education. This programme equips aspiring educators with essential skills through a comprehensive curriculum, practical classroom experience, and technology integration. Accredited by MQA and the Ministry of Higher Education, it also offers a double degree option with University of Central Lancashire. Graduates are prepared to be effective educators with diverse instructional strategies.
The APEL.Q pathway is not new at SEGi University. In addition to the Bachelor in Education (Hons), SEGi University was the first institution in Malaysia to receive APEL Q accreditation for the Diploma in Early Childhood Education (DECE) in July 2022. Since then, many teachers have successfully completed and earned their Diploma through this pathway. The new APEL.Q pathway for the Bachelor in Education underscores our commitment to providing accessible, high-quality education tailored to the needs of working professionals.
For educators who have spent years honing their skills and impacting students’ lives, the APEL Q programme is an excellent opportunity to formalise their experience and enhance their career prospects. Join SEGi University and transform your professional expertise into a recognised qualification, acknowledging your contributions and opening up new opportunities.
