Credits for prior learning (APeL)
Use your professional qualifications to fast-track to a postgraduate qualification
We have processes for awarding credit for prior learning and for some professional qualifications we have carried out a 'matching exercise' to give standard credit allowances. To make an Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APeL) claim students will be required to demonstrate currency (within 5 years) and documentary evidence such as certificates/transcripts.
Early Years Professional Status (EYPS)
30 credits (level 6) onto the Professional Practice pathway.
Any student taking this articulation forward into a Master's may also be able to submit a further 30 credit level 7 APeL claim for their implementation of their learning from this award into their practice.
