Apprenticeship Standards Explained
Standards ensure a better delivery across the UK, giving employers the flexibility and control to design and develop apprenticeships through employer groups to meet sector requirements. They include more rigorous testing to ensure the apprentice is fully competent and raise aspirations for apprentices by introducing grading at the end of the apprenticeship.
Off the job training is received by the apprentice during the apprentices' paid hours. It is not delivered for the sole purpose of enabling the apprentice to perform work duties for which they have been employed. It is a statutory requirement of every apprenticeship programme.
Off the job training must be directly relevant to the apprenticeship standard, teaching new knowledge, skills and behaviours required to reach competence of the particular occupation.
Relaxing restrictions on employers to train existing staff with new skills give employers the freedom to make training decisions that will benefit them and the individual.
Recruitment Support
Finding an apprentice can be tedious but we have a recruitment process to make the search for your ideal candidate easier.
All applicants are assessed on their maths, English and practical thinking skills before being interviewed by our qualified staff who spend the time to get to know each individual. We gather information on their hobbies and interests, goals and ambitions and most importantly, why they want to enrol on an apprenticeship. This information along with the time we spend getting to know you and your business helps us to ensure we are sending candidates that meet your requirements.
We also advertise your apprenticeship positions on your behalf through the ‘Find an Apprenticeship’ service. Adverts are designed from your job description and requirements of the role to ensure every advert is individualised. Our skilled team then analyses the applications and ensure they meet the requirements of the apprenticeship through the same recruitment process.
