Learning at Work / Work-Based Learning
Work-based learning connects formal academic learning with professional practice. It recognises that valuable learning also takes place through employment, training, projects, professional responsibilities and previous study.
At Caribbean Polytechnic Institute, relevant qualifications, training, experience, skills and knowledge may be considered as prior learning within suitable programmes.
