DELIVERY MODEL

We work hard to ensure we support our candidates to a high level whilst working closely with our clients to offer flexible delivery, allowing our clients to carry on doing what they do best.

We do this by delivering a fully vocational service, no college release required for candidates. Each learner will be allocated an assessor on a one to one basis, who is qualified and experienced within their field.  The assessor will create an individual learning plan with each candidate, visiting each learner once every 3 – 4 weeks within the work place, by prior agreement to achieve the learning plan.

Learners who undertake a Level 2 qualification will have the ongoing support of their assessor up to around 12 months and Level 3 candidates up to 18 months, however every candidate is different and will complete in different time frames.

QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE 

Currently we are able to deliver Adult Apprenticeships (Level 2) and Advanced Adult Apprenticeships (Level 3) within the following areas:

  • Business Administration
