Guidelines for QA in WBL

Different Types of WBL Experiences

Apprenticeship: The term ‘apprenticeship’ refers to training that engages learners on programmes that include school-based learning at a licensed educational institution and work-based learning with a registered sponsor. Programmes that include apprenticeships lead to a recognised vocational qualification or award at MQF Level 3 or Level 4. The learner is linked to a sponsor with a training agreement along with the educational institution. ECTS credits are allocated and assessed by the educational institution for learning outcomes achieved during the work-based period. Apprenticeships formally combine and alternate work-based training (periods of practical work experience at a workplace) with school-based education (periods of theoretical/practical education delivered in an educational institution), and lead to a nationally recognised qualification/award upon successful completion.
