The process involves the identification, documentation, and assessment of prior experiential learning, conducted by an APEL Assessment Centre (Pusat Penilaian APEL, PPA) appointed by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) prior to admission into an academic programme. This initiative provides experienced individuals with the opportunity to pursue higher education at higher education institutions (HEIs).<\/p>
