Qualification Checker

The Qualification Checker is a tool that helps you figure out if a person is ready to join the MBA programme. It looks at their school results, work experience, and other qualifications, then tells you which pathway they might qualify for.

Think of it like a helper that does the hard work of checking rules for you. You put in the person's information, and it gives you a clear answer about what they can do next.

Step 1: Add Their Qualifications

Click Add Qualificationand fill in the person's school results. Start from their oldest qualification (like high school) and work your way up to their most recent one (like a university degree).

Stage - What level is this qualification? (Secondary, Pre-University, Diploma, Bachelor, or Professional)
Qualification Name - What is the qualification called?
Institution - Which school or university gave this qualification?
Awarding Body - Who officially gave this qualification?
Country - Which country is the school in?
Year Completed - When did they finish?
CGPA / Result - What was their grade or score?
Field of Study - What did they study? (e.g., Business, Engineering)
MQA Status - Is this qualification approved by MQA? (Only for Malaysian schools)

You can add as many qualifications as you need. The system will use the most important one to make its decision.

Step 2: Add Their Work Experience

Tell the system about the person's job. This helps figure out if they have enough experience for certain pathways.

Job Title - What is their current job?
Company - Where do they work?
Industry - What kind of business is it? (e.g., Banking, Education, Healthcare)
Total Years - How many years have they been working?
Management Experience - Do they manage or lead other people?
Business Ownership - Do they own their own business?
Summary - A quick description of what they do at work

Step 3: Check if Their Qualification is Recognised

This is where you check if the person's qualification is officially approved. Click each section to fill in what you find.

MQR / MQA Check (for Malaysian qualifications)

Go to the MQR website and search for the person's programme. If you find it, fill in the details. This checks if the school programme is approved by the Malaysian government.

Look for: Is the programme listed? Is it accredited? What level of accreditation? (PA means Provisional, FA means Full)

Level 4 / Diploma Equivalency Check

If the person does not have a university degree, check if their diploma or certificate is at Level 4 or higher. Use the MYRQ website to check.

Professional Qualification Check

If the person has a professional certificate (like ACCA, CIMA, or similar), check our internal database to see what level it is equivalent to.

eSisraf / Overseas Check

If the person studied in another country, check the eSisraf website to see if their school or programme is listed. If not, you may need to check the school's accreditation in their home country.

After checking all sections, set the Overall Recognition Status at the bottom:

Acceptable - Everything looks good
Not Accepted - The qualification is not approved
Pending Registrar - You are not sure and need the Registrar to check

Step 4: Run the Assessment

Click Run Assessment. The system will look at everything you entered and give you a clear result:

A coloured box showing the pathway (green means good to go, red means not eligible)
Alerts if there are any problems or things to watch out for
Suggested tags to help you remember key details

If you are happy with the result, click Save to Leadto save it to the person's file.

Direct Entry

The person has a recognised degree with a good grade. They can join the MBA programme right away.

Rigorous Internal Assessment

The person has a degree, but we need to check a few more things before they can join. This might mean an interview or extra review.

Non-Related Degree with Work Experience

The person's degree is in a different field, but they have lots of work experience. They may still qualify.

Subject to Prerequisite Subject

The person needs to take a short course first before they can join the MBA.

APEL A T7 Pathway

The person is 30 years or older and has work experience but no university degree. They can apply through the APEL A T7 process (which assesses prior experiential learning for admission to MQF Level 7 programmes).

RPEL / Enabling Programme Recommended

The person is not ready for the MBA yet. They should start with the RPEL programme first to build up their qualifications.

Pending Registrar Review

The system is not sure about the qualification. You need to send this case to the Registrar for them to check.

Not Eligible

The person does not meet the requirements. This could be because their qualification is not recognised, they are too young for APEL.A, or the school is not approved.
