Our Collective Responsibilities

We see Apprenticeships as being a partnership between You, the employer, your apprentice, and us as your nominated training provider. The Apprenticeship is only successful when we work together to ensure the very best learning experience for your apprentice.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS YOUR TRAINING PROVIDER

As your training provider we will ensure that we provide the very best training for your apprentices in an environment conducive to successful learning. We will track and monitor their progress throughout the programme as well as facilitate regular learner and contract review meetings. We will help to prepare the apprentices for their End Point Assessment and we will award their qualification in the final steps of the programme. We will also ensure the apprentice has access to a graduation ceremony where they can celebrate their success.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE EMPLOYER

As the employer you need to ensure a suitable learning environment for your apprentice in the workplace with support from a nominated mentor who can assist them during the Apprenticeship.

As the employer you will also need to allow the apprentice to achieve their 20% Off-The-Job training and you will need to encourage your apprentice to take responsibility for their learning and attendance. (This will include attaining Level 2 in English and maths where required.)

RESPONSIBILITY OF APPRENTICE

The apprentice is primarily responsible for managing their own learning and engaging in the process at every opportunity. The apprentice is expected to proactively participate in learning reviews and keep their individual learning plan up to date. The apprentice needs to identify any barriers to successful completion of the programme as well as providing ongoing programme feedback when required. Off-The-Job training needs to be tracked by the apprentice and we ask that the apprentice maintains effective communication with their employer, their mentor and the University.
