Recording, Confirming and Registering Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) from Work Placements: A ‘Ten Top Tips’ Toolkit For Students - and Guidance on Completing the SRA QWE Template

Abstract

This Toolkit is intended to assist students in understanding the rules about Qualifying Work Experience and how it may apply to work placements. The definition of work placements in this document includes periods of formal or informal ‘work experience’ (typically of up to a few weeks) as well as ‘placements’ and ‘internships’ (typically involving attending the workplace over a longer period of time, sometimes organised by, or with the help of, the student’s education provider).
