Quality,
credentialed qualifications. APM’s learning approach is
built on several tenets – strong beliefs that help students
learn and gain the most from their investment of time and energy.
Education Redefined
The cornerstone of APM’s education mission is providing
academic rigour that is practical and useable. APM’s
curriculum is designed around nationally endorsed standards
that have been developed through comprehensive industry consultation.
Students are provided with an intimate, interactive and supportive
learning environment where they are encouraged to question
and analyse. APM lecturers are industry practitioners who
are skilled facilitators. Students experience a true learning
environment that shows how theory is applied. An environment
that prepares them to the make the most of the opportunities.
Integration of Theory and Practice
For true learning to occur, integrating theory and practice
is critical. To achieve this blend, the curriculum for each
APM subject is developed by learning experts in collaboration
with industry and professional bodies. APM lecturers are actively
encouraged to maintain their professional relevance through
continued work in their specific field, so students can be
assured that they are taught by working professionals who
understand the needs of today’s workplace.
Learning with Peers
APM encourages students to think of lecturers as peers and
mentors. The interaction with, and access to lecturers is
a critical part of the learning process. Likewise, the class
interaction and discussions with fellow students is a powerful
and compelling learning experience. Students are encouraged
to build support networks and leverage the insights that the
lecturers can provide.
Education for Adults
APM starts with the base assumption that students will take
responsibility for making the most of the learning opportunity
that is provided. Students are selected because they are motivated
enough to see through the commitment that they have made to
themselves in learning new skills to achieve a better work
outcome. Students are encouraged to gain maximum value out
of their education experience by attending formal lectures
and fully participating in class activities and networking
opportunities.
Education with Purpose
APM believes in providing students with practical knowledge
that matches the needs of the current employment market. That
is why APM always puts the emphasis on the skills that are
gained along the way and not just the end qualification itself.
Qualifications themselves do not guarantee a job. It is the
candidate’s ability to demonstrate relevant skills,
commitment and drive that makes the difference. APM provides
the perfect opportunity for students to prove themselves capable
of gaining new skills, learning in an intensive manner and
succeeding.
