Your project work such previous graduate studies, including papers, books, articles, or written works that you have completed will be recognised by APEC for transfer credits.

Similar transfer credit will be awarded for project work that is a work in process; or is partially completed. You can email your transcript or information on the major project you have completed or are in the process of completing. You will be advised the number of credits available.

APEC will allow transfer credits earned from graduate degree programs or the equivalent, but only if the credits were not already used to earn a graduate degree.

You can earn credits by writing one or more autobiographical papers about what you have done and what you have learned from your work and life experiences. Your extensive experience in a particular area can also earn you credits. See ‘Your Career earns you Credits’. With this type of customised, practical course you can help and support others in their learning by your written Paper, article, book chapter, website, seminar, or video that can be a guiding light for another person’s success.

You can customise your project work based largely on your experience, and learned outcomes, in relation to a particular subject area, in a particular type of work, profession, industry, or any other area of your life.

Papers or book chapters for this type of custom course can be autobiographical or you can discuss your experience with your course supervisor in relation to a particular subject area.

To learn how to write this type of paper we recommend you read the book, “Quality and me”, by professor Philip Crosby as a good example of how to write a paper on what you have learned from your experience.
