I am relatively new subscriber and appreciate the information on this list. I have been studying (as many of you obviously have) the NRS Guidelines published in April. Can anyone give me an example of a short-term learning course that you are listing as "a Work-based Project Learner" and explain how you plan to assess the learner. Many thanks.
