APEL.M is a seamless pathway for university admission through micro-credentials.

For admission, you will need to submit a comprehensive portfolio which will be used to assess your readiness to undertake the CeMBA. Your portfolio must include details such as the number of micro-credentials taken, the percentage of credits earned and any supporting documentation you may have, including result slips, digital badges or Malaysian Micro-credential Statements (MMS).
To undergo the APEL.M assessment at WOU, you must first officially register with MQA on its website. Once registered, submit your information on WOU’s website to conclude your application process. WOU will extend an invitation for a detailed briefing to prepare you for the aptitude test and portfolio submission, along with practice questions to help you ace the exam.
