WBL Programmes are delivered and supported so that students can achieve the specified learning outcomes while further developing their professional career and while satisfying employer expectations and requirements. 

• HEIs and colleges ensure common approaches to recruitment where progression routes and life-long learning potential are fully explained to candidates.
• Institutions/course teams provide appropriate and effective pre-entry engagement and induction processes (e.g. negotiation of Learning Contract and any relevant APEL) which are accessible to all learners. For example, pre-entry activities/‘bridging’ courses are designed to prepare learners for degree level study (subject knowledge and/or skills).
• Academic/personal/social support mechanisms aid learner transition at every stage of the programme.  

• Delivery methods and support mechanisms (both physical and virtual).
• Assessment strategy.
• Employer feedback.
• Feedback from student groups.
• Data on student performance both during and after the course.
