Work-Based Learning and Projectbase

Work-Based Learning  at APC provides you with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience and expertise in a particular field, refining your specialised knowledge and practical skills in organisational learning and capability development.

This includes: 

• Learning that occurs in real work environments through participation in authentic work activities, projects and interactions. 
• It is embedded in the curriculum and can involve deliberate engagement with work experiences for learning purposes and may include the formal recognition of competencies achieved through those experiences (eg. apprenticeships and traineeships, and placements).  
• The workplace plays the central role in organising and enacting the learning.
• The workplace complements scheduled training and learning such as LiveStream Lectures and tutorials.
• Assessments will remain unchanged and continue to be conducted independently by APC to determine course progress

ProjectBase is APC's own Project-Based Learning (PBL) or commonly referred as Work Integrated Learning (WIL): 

• Intentionally connecting academic theory with practical work projects, case studies and experiences within the curriculum.
• Projects form a part of the assessments and teachers/trainers play a key role in organising and enacting the learning (eg. Simulations, Projects and Practicums).
• Projects replace formal classes as the main source of training and learning and are complemented by LiveStream Lectures and tutorials. 
• Assessments are embedded in projects and course progress is dependent on successful project completion.
