What is a syllabus for?

An APEGBC syllabus lists the topics that are required knowledge in a particular discipline. Each syllabus also contains a Self Assessment Checklist, and a List of Recommended Textbooks for each topic.

If you are a new applicant, an APEGBC syllabus helps you by:

• Listing each topic in each discipline, to help you decide what discipline most closely matches your expertise
• Providing you with a Self Assessment Checklist, so that you can compare your academic qualifications to each topic requirement in a particular discipline

If you are an examination candidate, a syllabus helps you by providing:

• Recommended textbooks for each examination topic
• A full description of the topics on your examination
