Course Delivery
Our dedicated tutors are specialists in their fields and each
learner has a tutor assigned to them upon enrolment based
on their learning requirements, course, location and level. Our
courses are delivered through a combination of face-to-face
tutoring at the learner’s place of work and virtual learning via
online sessions. As part of every apprenticeship course, learners
are required to spend 20% of their contracted working hours
undertaking off-the-job training. Off-the-job training is training
that is outside of usual workplace duties, but it may still be
conducted at your place of work.
Course delivery styles may include:
- The teaching of theory: lectures, role playing, simulation exercises, online learning or manufacturer training
- Practical training: shadowing, mentoring, industry visits and attendance at competition
- Coursework: learning support and time spent writing assessments/assignments
Throughout the course, your progress will be assessed to
determine your knowledge and competency. Typical methods
of gaining evidence to assess performance may include:
- On-the-job observations: your tutor will observe you
carrying out day-to-day tasks, assessing your competency
in the workplace - Coursework: throughout the course, your tutor will set
you a variety of tasks to be completed following your one-to-one
sessions; these tasks will help you acquire the skills
and knowledge required to complete the syllabus - Witness testimonials: we will gather a variety of witness
testimonials from your line manager to evidence your
performance at work, demonstrating your ability - Examinations: some of our courses also require learners
to sit an examination to formally assess knowledge and
competency
