A COLLABORATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR MODULE ENGAGEMENT AND LEARNING IN BLENDED QUANTITY SURVEYING DEGREE APPRENTICES PROGRAMMES

Blended programmes such as Blended Quantity Surveying Degree Apprenticeship (QSDA) programmes are fast gaining traction within many apprenticeships in the United Kingdom as they seek to provide flexibility that meets the needs of apprentices. Achieving a seamless blend of theoretical understanding and work-based practice in delivering quality learning and ensuring apprentices are developing the required knowledge, skills, and behaviours is a priority to meet the set ambitions of the programmes. However, contextualisation of theoretical to practice can be very challenging without effective employer collaboration, especially at module levels. The project aims to develop a collaborative framework for module learning and engagement in QSDA programmes. The project creates a structure for providers-employer engagement in developing and delivering quality learning experiences in blended QSDA programmes towards achieving the apprenticeship. The project defines the key enablers, practices, and action areas relevant to engaging employers in module delivery towards developing a collaborative framework for module learning and engagement on QSDA programmes.
