Guidelines for QA in WBL

Different Types of WBL Experiences

Work placement: The term ‘work placement’ refers to a period of unpaid work undertaken by learners with a registered sponsor as part of their course of education in an educational institution which is characterised by the structured nature of the learning. It is aimed at gaining work experience leading to a recognised qualification or award at MQF Level 1 or Level 2. The learner is linked to a sponsor with a training agreement compiled by the educational institution. ECTS credits are allocated and assessed by the educational institution for learning outcomes achieved during the work-based period.
