Second‐year pharmacy students were divided into two cohorts, one of which participated in structured work‐based learning (WBL) activities in a summer vacation training programme (VTP) in a community pharmacy work placement. Assessment methods were developed to measure quantitatively any change in knowledge and knowledge‐based transferable skills. Results from the assessments showed that participation in structured WBL activities increased the students' knowledge and knowledge‐based transferable skills.
