Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships comprise several aspects. You can adapt these to reflect an employee’s job and the skills they need to perform. Each apprenticeship is based on national occupational standards. Employers will learn the knowledge and understanding needed to be effective in the workplace. They will also learn current best practice as well as how to adapt to meet future requirements.

Assessment for an apprenticeship takes place in the workplace. It fits into the working day so employees do not need much time away from work. Skills are assessed through:

  • Work-based collection of evidence
  • Workplace observation
  • Investigation of skills by a College assessor
  • There are also end point assessments.
