Work Based Learning 1(A)

The work-based learning (WBL) module is an integral component of the Civil Engineering Apprenticeship Programmes. The module is designed to provide
apprentices with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to transfer and apply classroom learning to the workplace. The integration of the academic
theories with the professional work setting enables the apprentice to gain a wider breadth of application for the academic theories and positions covered
in the classroom setting.

Individual experiences in the workplace environment will vary from apprentice to apprentice. The workplace learning element of the programme is designed in a flexible manner to ensure that each apprentice is given the opportunity to apply the knowledge, skills and competencies gained in the academic modules into a real-life workplace context.

1. Comply with company's procedures and policies, and describe the company's guidelines relating to the workplace, customers and the environment.

2. Integrate in the company work place, communicating and contributing as an individual and team member, and describe the company's organisational structure.

3. Identify and describe the key issues associated with the Civil Engineering Profession.

4. Apply theoretical knowledge gained from academic modules to the Civil Engineering Profession.

5. Use problem solving techniques to address professional issues in the workplace.

6. Demonstrate an ability to reflect on and analyse relevant themes throughout the academic session.

7. Communicate complex and multi-faceted issues both in oral and written form.
