How Do Courses Work

Learning is conducted within the workplace. Students must be provided an employer mentor to support the program and are expected to utilise 20% of their work time towards achieving the qualification known as 20% off the job training.

These sessions can take place on or off site and may take place online if needed. Students and employers are provided access to an e-portfolio system, plus our learning Hyb to submit work, monitor progress and undertake additional CPD to stretch and challenge.

As part of the program students and employers will undertake a series of initial assessments before the program starts to ensure suitability for the program and to ensure the correct level of program is undertaken. Maths and English assessments will be utilised along side proof of prior learning and where required Students will undertake Maths and English Functional Skills qualifications.
