1. Background

The MFHEA Guidelines for Quality Assurance for Courses that include a Work-Based Learning Component represent the effort of the MFHEA to support local higher education institutions in their endeavours to provide high-quality education and to make such education opportunities accessible to as many prospective learners as possible.

The quality guidelines on work-based learning (WBL), in line with the other MFHEA Quality Assurance documentation, complement the internal quality assurance mechanisms of individual further and higher education entities while contributing to the development of a national quality culture in this area. These guidelines refer to further, higher and adult formal education provision in both the state and the non-state sectors.

• As a further and Higher Education Institution that delivers, or aims to deliver, courses that include a Work-Based Learning component, do you think that the guidelines are clear, unambiguous and practical? Please elaborate if not.
