I am extremely proud of my efforts but I really do not think I could have achieved what I did without the fabulous help I received. I have learnt so much from the three courses I have achieved and I feel it has made me a better person in my job role as Catering supervisor.”

Shona Flanagan

“I now have a recognised qualification and have furthered my knowledge. I have been able to use my skills and experience to mentor new administrators within my workplace. I am able to share my knowledge and skills with others and understand some of the barriers they may have when learning new skills. I have thoroughly enjoyed my programme of learning and it has given me a fantastic sense of achievement.”

Paula Crilly

Administrator Highground Southern Cross Care Home

“My Learning Advisor was very supportive and treated me more like a friend than a tutor. I enjoy my work and the people I work with. Achieving my NVQ shows that my job role is just as important as any other in the hospital. I am also looking to possibly signing-up for a Customer Service NVQ next year.”

Angie Williams

Domestic Ward Orderly Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust

“I have completed the qualification and gained valuable skills, I would recommend it to others as it gives you confidence and thus gain the respect of potential employers as qualifications alter the way in which they look at you. It changes their views for the better and makes them believe in your abilities and skills.”

apprenticeships

www.growyourskills.co.uk


apprenticeships An Apprenticeship is made up of the following components:

An Apprenticeship is a programme of learning funded by the Government that is aimed to benefit both an employee and their employer. The scheme is designed to enhance the employee’s level of competency and confidence within their current role by developing their practical skills and knowledge. As a result the employee will gain nationally recognised qualifications in the form of a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Certificate or Diploma, Key Skills as well as knowledge of their statutory rights in employment. In return the employer is able to benefit from improved overall efficiency, productivity and competitiveness within their market sector. Apprenticeships take anywhere from 8 - 18 months to complete. Learners are allocated a Learning Advisor (LA) who comes into the workplace to visit the learner at work every month. Each visit lasts around 1½ hours and includes some 1 to 1 time as well as observation of the learner working as part of the assessment and feedback process.

To be eligible for Apprenticeship funding, learners must... 1. Work a minimum of 16 hours per week 2. Not be participating in full-time education 3. Have been resident in an EU country for a minimum of 3 years (and not for the main purpose of education) 4. Have a permanent National Insurance number 5. Not have completed a funded programme previously in the same area of learning (at the same level) 6. Not have a level 4 or equivalent qualification i.e. Possess a degree.

7 The Green, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 4RR

1. NVQ Certificate or Diploma in an agreed and relevant subject. This is the practical skills based component where the learner demonstrates that they have the skills and knowledge to meet the required national standard. Where a learner does not have the skills, a training plan is put together to enable learners to develop the relevant skills required. Some of this training needs to be delivered by the learner’s employer whilst they are working. 2. Technical Certificate is the knowledge-based component and depending on the subject, is assessed either by a series of online tests, written assignments or a practical assignment. 3. Key Skills are made up of Communication and Application of Number. The learner builds up a portfolio of both to show they are able to effectively communicate and use numbers in the workplace. Where relevant the learner may also need to complete an ICT key skill (e.g. Business Administration apprenticeships). Each key skill is assessed by an online test and a portfolio of evidence. The level of key skill will depend of the level of apprenticeship. A learner will complete Key Skills qualifications in the following: Level 1 or 2 - Application of Number Level 1 or 2 - Communication Level 1 or 2 - IT (selected Apprenticeships only)

4. ERR (Employment Rights and Responsibilities) This component is used to make Apprentices aware of their employment rights and responsibilities. The Apprentice completes this component in question and answer format in a workbook. 5. PLTS (Personal Learning and Thinking Skills) comprises six groups of skills that together with the Key Skills are essential to success in learning, life and work. These are; managing one’s self, managing relationships with others, managing one’s own learning, performance and work. These are embedded within the other components of the apprenticeship framework.

Support for Key Skills

www.growyourskills.co.uk


support for key skills (SKS) visits

key skills:

better literacy & numeracy will...

In the world of work, there are very few jobs that do not require basic literacy or numeracy skills. We recognise there are those who may need a brush up on a few skills to achieve proficiency in areas such as:

• equip employees with the skills the organisation needs them to have • contribute to the workforce feeling more valued and recognised • enable employees to have the confidence to take more responsibility • help to create an environment for better team working • give employers greater confidence so they are better able to handle changes to working practices.

• spelling • punctuation • grammar

• decimals • fractions • percentages

support for key skills (SKS): All SKS visits require learners and their Learning Support Advisor (LSA) to be sitting in an environment suitable for learning to take place (quiet and free from interruptions). The purpose of these visits is to improve the learner’s literacy and/or numeracy skills, which in turn will increase their confidence and abilities in their job role. The number of visits required is determined on an individual basis as different learners have different requirements. Visits usually take between an hour and an hour and a half every 3-4 weeks and are generally undertaken on a 1-1 basis. 1st Visit At the first visit, the SKS procedure is explained to the learner. The learner is issued with the relevant diagnostic assessments. These are not tests and simply help to highlight the individual’s learning requirements. The assessments are completed by the learner on their own, before the second SKS visit. Some teaching will also take place during this visit. The learner’s portfolio is discussed and some work may be set towards their portfolio.

7 The Green, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 4RR

Qube can offer the following Skills for Life qualifications • Entry Level 3, Level 1 or Level 2 - Literacy • Entry Level 3, Level 1 or Level 2 - Numeracy 2nd Visit During this visit, the diagnostic assessments is marked and an action plan agreed between the LSA and the learner. A full discussion about the learner’s targets and relevant teaching takes place. The learner’s portfolio is discussed and an action plan for their portfolio work is agreed upon. All subsequent Visits During all other visits, teaching and learning practice takes place. Some of the portfolio is completed during visits when appropriate, although the learner is also expected to complete some of the work between visits. The learner also needs to practice what they have learned for at least an hour per week between visits. To complete the Key Skills aspect of the apprenticeship, every learner will produce a portfolio of evidence and complete a 40 question multiple-choice test.
