Through regular meetings  once per month either physical or virtual we are able to deliver training to your workforce and adapt to their learning styles and needs. Our trainers are at hand to provide support and guidance when needed.

Our online platform system allows candidates to log in anywhere any time to see their progress and communicate with their trainer. Photos, screen shots and voice discussions all can be used as evidence and contributes towards the qualification.

All Apprenticeships have an element of Employment Rights and Responsibilities (ERR) included, covering employment law that is there to protect employees and make sure everyone is treated fairly. Some also feature additional qualifications relevant to the role and Framework. Rather than just seeking to demonstrate competence in the particular job role, Apprenticeships are designed to give the apprentice the capabilities to progress their career, offering additional and long-term value to their employer.

All apprentices will be required to maintain a Log Book throughout their Apprenticeship. This log book will contain a record of time spent learning or training, both on and off-the-job, including those spent with a mentor in the workplace.

These levels are based on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).

Specialist qualifications such as PhDs – Level 8
Masters degrees, postgraduate certificates, postgraduate diplomas – Level 7
Bachelor’s degrees (e.g. BA or BSc) – Level 6
Foundation degrees, HNDs, Level 5 diplomas – Level 5
HNCs, Level 4 diplomas – Level 4
A-Levels, Level 3 NVQs, Level 3 certificates – Level 3
GCSE grade A*-C, Level 2 NVQs, Level 2 diplomas – Level 2

What does it mean?

Every Apprenticeship standard requires an End-point Assessment to be taken to use the knowledge, skills and behaviours acquired throughout the apprenticeship to award a final grade. The learners portfolio is used with the end-point assessments to grade the learner.

End-point assessment (EPA) tests the knowledge, skills and behaviours that an apprentice has gained during their training. Unique to each standard, EPA demonstrates the competence of an apprentice in their role. This competence is valued by current and future employers.

In most courses an End-point assessment may include:

• Knowledge based on demand test
• Professional discussion relating to CPD
• Competency based interview
• Assessment of portfolio evidence

Once the End-point assessment is complete each element will be marked and graded and a final grade will be awarded to the apprentice.

Functional skills are the key element of English and Maths skills that are needed for working and personal lives. These qualifications can be studied and the core skills are then applied to real-life situations.

Our Trainers will deliver training to the apprentice in these areas to enable them to gain the skills needed within English and Maths Level 1 & 2.

The ESFA’s apprenticeships funding rules state that all new standards must contain 20% off-the-job training. Off-the-job training is learning which happens outside of the normal day-to-day working environment and leads towards the achievement and completion of an apprenticeship. This is time each week where the apprentice can develop and the employer does not lose them for a period of time.

The apprenticeship funding rules state that off-the-job training can include the following:

• The teaching of theory (for example: lectures, role playing, simulation exercises, online learning or manufacturer training)
• Practical training: shadowing, mentoring, industry visits and participation in competitions
• Learning support and time spent writing assessments / assignments.
