Apprenticeship Commitment

Your responsibilities and commitment to the programme will include:

  • Attend training sessions and track your progress: Participate in all scheduled training sessions and make sure to document evidence needed for your off-the-job training.
  • Engage in learning activities: Take part in the learning tasks within each module, including self-directed study and any research.
  • Complete coursework and assessments: Finish all coursework, assignments, and exams required for the successful completion of your apprenticeship.
  • Participate in progress review meetings: Attend regular progress meetings and contribute actively to discussions on your development.
  • Communicate any challenges: Let your manager or tutor know about any concerns, including learning support needs or welfare concerns, that could impact your training plan.

Meeting Objectives/Deadlines

Your goal is to successfully complete the apprenticeship programme by developing the skills, knowledge, and behaviours required for the standard. Stay consistently aware of your progress throughout the apprenticeship by:

  • Submitting monthly records in Smart Assessor to support your off-the-job training.
  • Meeting deadlines for tasks and assignments to prepare for your Apprenticeship Assessment.

Progress Reviews

Every 8-10 weeks, you'll have a progress review with your tutor and manager to discuss your achievements and development within the programme. It's important to actively participate in these reviews, reflecting on how the programme is benefiting both your growth as an employee and its impact on the organisation.

Each review will last about 45 minutes to an hour.

Feedback

Your tutor and manager will provide regular feedback on your performance and portfolio of evidence to support your development, and ensure you acquire the skills and knowledge essential for your role.

Online Platform

You'll have access to our online platform, customised to your chosen methods. You are expected to review the course content and complete end-of-module assessments to support your learning progress.

Off-the-job Hours

Off-the-job training is defined as learning that takes place outside of your regular day-to- day work duties and directly contributes to completing your apprenticeship.

Your whole apprenticeship journey is fully mapped out and planned with activities you will be expected to complete during the course of your apprenticeship programme. It is essential that off-the-job training is recorded monthly as without the required hours, you cannot proceed through to Endpoint Assessment.

Activities may include:

  • Shadowing other staff
  • Writing your project report or improvement plan
  • Online learning modules
  • H&S training courses, creating risk assessments, toolbox talks
  • NDT courses, inspection reports, written instructions

Apprenticeship Team

All staff are trained in safeguarding, welfare and Prevent. During the programme, apprentices receive regular welfare checks as part of the review process and monthly hot topics discussed.

For Apprentices 

All our apprentices will work closely with their tutors to support them throughout their apprenticeship journey and will always be their first point of contact should they need help with anything that may be affecting their programme. Apprentices may be signposted to external agencies. They can also access a range of information on our Smart Assessor platform, where they can access advice and self-help on a range of topics, including mental health, finances, relationships, online safety and more.
