Note on planned hours for work experience

Any hours added to the Planned learning hours field in the programme will count towards students' Planned learning hours on the Students > All Students > Bulk Update > Update Learning & EEP Hours page. Planned hours input for Work experience programmes don't feed into EEP hours.

If the hours should instead count towards students' EEP hours, do not record Planned learning hours in the Work experience programme (leave this field blank). Instead, Work Experience should be manually added to students from the Update Learning & EEP Hours page.

 

Step 1 - Add the programme and programme instances

Go to School > School structure > Programmes of Study and click to add a new programme.

Click into the work placement to add a programme instance for each work placement.

Please leave the Partner UKPRN field blank - this field is not used for Work Experience Placements (the partner details are instead taken from the Employer Identifier details).

For the qualification details, rather than linking to an exams award, you can add in one of these codes:

  • T Level industry placement: ZWRKX003,
  • Industry Placement, Capacity and Delivery Fund (CDF): ZWRKX002,
  • 16 to 19 study programme work experience: ZWRKX001
