The Work-based Learning feature is available for all clients for an additional fee. It is designed for RTOs who place students with Host Employers to complete on-the-job activities as part of their learning experience.

Work-Based Learning is an add-on to the Turbo subscription or priced as part of a tailored solution for enterprise or large training organisations. Get in touch for a personalised quote.

Yes, the default terminology in the system for work-based learning enrolments is 'Placement', but you can change this to one of the above terms from the Core tab of your system settings. The capabilities of our Work-based Learning feature should apply to any of these use-cases, but we are continually adding more functionality to support the broad range of workplace-based learning that exists.

Admin, Trainer, and Supervisor users can all log into the aXcelerate App. If you are set as the Work-based Learning trainer or supervisor of a learner, you will see their placement in the aXcelerate App when you log in. All of the core functionality available in the aXcelerate App is also available through the admin interface as well.

Ideally, Supervisors will review and approve logbook entries made by Learners as they will be working with the Learner and know what they participated in for a particular day. However, all of the actions available to a Supervisor are also available in the admin area accessible by admins and trainers.

Template fields are available for all major aspects of Work-based Learning within the system. You can create templates that have information about placements and send them to Host Employers, Trainers, and Learners for signing using our Agreements functionality. This can be done either from the Placement Details page, class enrolment, or via workflow actions. For more information click here.

It is recommended that you handle the assessment component of a Learner's enrolment through aXcelerate's Online Assessments. For example, you can use an Observation Checklist type assessment for examining a Learner's competency for a particular set of tasks. You can also export a Learner's logbook to attach to an assessment and use as evidence of competency. We have plans to improve the process of managing work-based learning assessments, but if you have any feedback on this topic please let us know by clicking here.

There is no self-service import functionality available within the system for Work-based Learning data. If you need data imported, you will need to contact our Customer Success team and ask about our data migration services for more information.

The training provider that the Learner is studying with will need to issue you login details before you will be able to log in and use the aXcelerate App. If you did not receive these details, please contact the training provider and request access. After you sign-up and verify your account, you will be directed to the main aXcelerate application where you will be prompted to download and login to the aXcelerate App.

Aside from taking care of the Learner while they are working at your organisation, the primary responsibilities of a Supervisor are to review logbook entries and mark the attendance of the Learner. These actions - along with any important information about the Learner and their placement - are available in the aXcelerate App and a limited version of the main aXcelerate interface. It is also recommended that you speak with the training provider to determine what is expected of you as a Supervisor during the Learner's Placement.

Your training provider will need to issue you login details before you will be able to log in and use the Learner App. If you did not receive these details, please contact the training provider and request access. After you sign-up and verify your account, you will be directed to your Learner Portal which has all of your course details. After this, you will be able to download the Learner App and view your placement details.

No, both the Learner App and Portal will continue to be supported. The Learner App allows Learners to see all aspects of their enrolment including work-based learning while on the move whilst the Learner Portal provides a great desktop experience for Learners to utilise.

The Learner App contains similar course information as the Learner Portal, but with the added WBL functionality. You can use both the app and the portal to access general information about your course. If you want to record logbook entries for work experience or see your schedule and details related to your placement you will need to use the Learner App.

After your logbook entry has been submitted, it will need to be reviewed and approved by your Supervisor or training provider before the logged time will count towards your progress.
