APEL - Student guide

These resources offer a student guide to the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL). They are intended for staff that are looking to develop and use APELs and draw on the work of the Pineapple Project (www.pineappleproject.org.uk) The guide provides an introduction to APEL, explains how to prepare a claim and outlines the stages of applying. These resources are particularly intended for those who are learning at and from work, in this case learners who may be involved in the development and delivery of APEL systems. The resources can contribute to the University's Continual Professional Development (CPD) framework. Within the University's CPD programme the resources will be introduced and used by a tutor who will support and facilitate student learning through use of the resources. This will be in the form of blended learning; a mixture of face to face and use of these on-line resources
