Module 1

What is this module about?
This module deals with the ability to identify competence gaps and training needs of
apprentices. The in-company tutors need to take in consideration the importance of the
students’ actual knowledge and the competences they already possess. WBL training will

improve their skills and add many new competences, so it could be a benefit for the
companies as well. The tutors have the aim to understand where and how to improve these
skills; the first module provides many solutions regarding this.

Furthermore, the module addresses the ability to design the training by combining theoretical
and practical parts. The tutor will develop the training programme, consisting of specific
actions and specific knowledge for a specific company.

The acquisition of a methodology is covered in this section. Four steps are relevant: prepare,
demonstrate, imitate, practice.

After going through the module, in-company tutors are expected to achieve the following
learning objectives, being able to:

- Identify the gap between the apprentices’ actual knowledge and their expected
