Maybe what we need is a certificate of qualification in APL?
The main idea for applying the certificate of professional
qualification is to get a official recognition of existing
competences, developed in the non-formal, informal and formal learning
and in work life.
Professional qualification means the level of competences (knowledge,
skills, experiences, values, personal characteristics), required in
the profession as an APL programmer or educator.
The application of professional qualification would be a process,
where a person attests the level of his or her professional competence
and a body, which awards professional qualification, *****ses the the
correspondence thereof to the professional qualification applied for
and issues a professional certificate.
Methods of attestation are interview, discussion, supervision,
****tfolio, test assignment, attestation on the basis of do***ents.
Professional certificates shall be registered in a register which is
approved by ????
