Negotiated Work Based Learning
Built around you and your work
If you are looking for a description of course content, you won’t find one here!
Negotiated Work Based Learning is an innovative, bespoke framework which allows you to negotiate the course which meets your needs and achieve a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma or Masters Degree from a top UK University. It is highly flexible, useful and adaptable
Individual students benefit from a relevant, tailored programme which delivers outcomes for their employer. Employers also benefit by using the framework to enhance and accredit staff development schemes.
For each student, there is a 3-way negotiation between you, your employer and us, which starts with the following discussion:
- What development would meet your career aspirations and the needs of work?
- What projects and initiatives do you need to take forward at work?
- Would any of our short courses be useful in your development?
- What is your target qualification? Can we ‘fast track’ you by giving credit for your prior learning?
- How a tailored programme can meet all these needs, focusing on the learning necessary to take these projects forward
As learning is linked directly to carrying out projects at work it is highly relevant and useful for you and delivers a return on investment for your employer.
