What is Work-Based Learning (WBL)?
Work-Based Learning (WBL) is learning about work through work and gaining credit at the same time. Learners decide their own learning outcomes and module content in a learning agreement set up with an educational adviser and workplace mentor. It is important to have the support of a workplace mentor as study, learning and practice are all work-based. An induction workshop takes place at the university and then learners are expected to use the on-line resources of studentcentral. WBL is normally studied over two semesters at levels 1, 2, 3 or M level.
