Principal’s Welcome From Katherine Burns

Principal, Adult Community Learning Essex We’re here to help you achieve the goals you have set your sights on throughout your life. The last year has been incredibly difficult for so many people but there is now an opportunity to gain the skills and qualifications you may need to take you on a new journey in life. Your new pathway may help you find a job, a promotion or a different career. But it’s much more than skills and qualifications, crucial as they are, it’s also about helping you flourish; your health and wellbeing, your sense of community belonging, and your confidence and belief in yourself. Lifelong learning matters to us! Whatever your ambitions for learning might be, we’re here to support you on your journey.

About us ACL Essex is the largest provider of adult education in the county. We’re at the heart of our communities across Essex making a difference to residents and businesses, so everyone has the chance to make a difference for themselves, those around them, and the places that they live in.

Creative & C ultural Learning

Foreign Languages We offer a range of language courses, whether you’re learning for fun, holidays or work, begin learning today. Improve your vocabulary in a range of languages with help from our professional tutors. Taster/Short Courses

You will learn to converse simply but accurately on a variety of everyday topics, read and understand short texts and write messages and short letters.

A short course for people wishing to try learning a language before committing to a longer course. No previous knowledge is necessary.

Advanced

Starter For complete beginners who have no previous knowledge of the language. By the end of the course you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to ask and answer simple questions, and will be familiar with a handful of useful everyday expressions. Improvers You should have studied the language for at least a year or be able to ‘get by’ in a limited number of everyday situations, such as basic shopping, ordering a meal and understanding simple directions and times. You will revise previous learning and will learn how to talk simply about yourself, your interests and gain further vocabulary and grammar language knowledge.

Thrift Crafts Make a positive difference to our environment by engaging in a thrift craft where we focus on recycling, re-purposing and repairing to give old items a new lease of life. The benefits are far reaching including reducing objects going to landfill, keeping resource costs in producing crafts low, personal wellbeing in making a difference to the sustainability of our planet, and raising awareness of ecology.

Traditional Craft Skills Discover the wonderful world of traditional crafts that have undergone a significant makeover throughout recent times. There is a huge joy in producing hand crafted objects, each with a unique quality that harks back to a previous era steeped in nostalgia. The wider benefits of crafting include developing and maintaining high manual dexterity, gaining understanding of design and creating something from raw, basic materials either for personal use, as gifts or to sell and gain new income.

Apprenticeships & Work Based Learning Guide to Level Progression Level 2 Intermediate level designed for new entrants into a subject area or sector. Level 3 Advanced level which assumes prior achievement at level 2 or previous study/work in relevant subject area. Levels 4&5 Higher level programmes designed for those already working in the sector and looking to develop their skills up to degree level. We have a range of current Apprenticeship vacancies on our website, visit aclessex.com/latest-apprenticeship-vacancies to view them and apply.

70

Adult Learning Course Guide September - December 2021


There is no upper age limit on apprenticeships, so they are suitable for everyone. You may be looking to gain your first step on the career ladder or be looking for a career change. 20% of your contracted hours will be spent in some form of ‘off job learning’ activity. We will work with you and your line manager to set up a programme and agree a learning plan. The apprenticeship lasts from 15-24 months depending on the type and level being undertaken. If you do not already have grade C (or suitable equivalent) or above in maths and English, you will be required to do this as part of your programme. Apprenticeships are also suitable for people who are already employed but require additional skills to meet the needs of their role e.g. promotion or change of job. Apprentices do not contribute to the cost of their programme – your employer will either pay the full amount through their apprenticeship levy or contribute towards the cost with the remainder funded by the government. For further information, please see our fees policy on our website aclessex.com/fees-policy.

We deliver our Apprenticeships across the county.

www.aclessex.com | 03330 607 002

Work Based Learning You will need to be employed in the sector that you are looking to undertake your qualification in. Programmes are available at levels 2 through to 5 and are suitable for people wishing to develop their workplace skills. You may be required to attend some classroom sessions which could be outside of normal working hours. You will have a dedicated tutor who will visit you in the workplace, set you work and observe your workplace practice. Funding could be available to help pay for your course e.g. Advanced Learning Loan or a bursary to pay for things like books or a laptop for the duration of your studies. To find out more about the financial support that we offer, please see page 8. Work based learning opportunities are available in the following curriculum areas: • Early Years and Education • Health and Social Care • Leadership and Management • Business and Customer Service • Housekeeping and Hospitality For more information on our programmes check out our website www.aclessex.com, email acl.businessdevelopment@essex.gov.uk or call us on 03330 139502.

If you’re looking for bespoke training for your business we’d love to talk through your options. Please contact a member of our team acl.businessdevelopment@essex.gov.uk


“I would recommend an apprenticeship to other people as it is a great opportunity to get into the workplace and develop invaluable skills, gaining qualifications and earning a wage at the same time.”

“Apprenticeships enable you to mould a team from scratch to your own way of doing things. They gain the knowledge that they need to apply on the job, whilst learning your way of applying it to your own customers or clients.”

Amy, Business Centre Manager

Michelle, Director of Ellacott Morris Ltd

Employers

Our offer includes programmes and courses that can be delivered online, in the workplace, as well as traditional classroom sessions in one of Essex based centres. There are opportunities for training to be delivered in the evening and on the weekend to meet business need.

Investing in staff training programmes and apprenticeships is the perfect way to grow your business and develop an efficient and skilled workforce. ACL has been delivering quality training and development programmes for over 30 years. We work with employers of all shapes and sizes who take training and development as seriously as we do. We work in partnership with every employer to ensure that training and development needs are met at every step of the way.

www.aclessex.com | 03330 607 002

A variety of funding options means that some programmes could be fully funded. For those programmes that do require a financial contribution we have flexible payment methods available. Our Business Development Team are on hand to discuss this with you. acl.businessdevelopment@essex.gov.uk
