Work Based Learning & Development Practitioner (SP-220322)

The Work-Based Learning & Development Practitioner is a skills programme designed to prepare individuals to plan, conduct, support, and administer structured learning in the workplace. It focuses on helping learners gain real work experience while applying theoretical knowledge and practical skills in an actual workplace environment.

This programme is especially useful for people involved in training, mentoring, coaching, supervision, human resource development, skills development, learnerships, internships, and apprenticeships. It equips practitioners to guide learners, monitor workplace progress, collect evidence, support workplace mentors, and ensure that learning outcomes are achieved.

In South Africa, the programme is commonly linked to QCTO Skills Programme SP-220322, at NQF Level 5, with 30 credits. It also forms part of the broader Occupational Certificate: Training and Development Practitioner, SAQA ID 101321.

A qualified Work-Based Learning & Development Practitioner plays an important role in bridging the gap between classroom learning and workplace performance. They help organisations implement effective work-based learning interventions that support employee development, compliance, productivity, and skills growth.
