Mode of delivery (20% off-the-job)

Sample programme:

Weeks 1-3

There will be a series of weekly taught sessions led by the tutor, which typically run from 9am to 1pm. The sessions will enable learners to develop a detailed knowledge and understanding of the business theory and how it relates to their own workplace.

They provide the foundation necessary for learners to put into practice their learning when producing their assignments.

Between 1-4pm a series of activities and tasks will be set by the tutor to support the completion of assignments. The programme allows flexibility for the learner to return to work after 1pm or remain in the university centre to complete assignments with guidance from the tutor.

Week 4

There will be a tutor visit to the learner’s workplace to liaise with the employer and assess development of the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for the qualification.

Week 5

Finalising and submitting coursework and introduction to next unit.

Employer commitment

An employer must be prepared to provide the learner with the opportunity to carry out their work and be involved in new projects which will enable the learner to produce evidence towards their qualification.

Employer involvement is very important for the learner to achieve success and this will mean a series of reviews of the learner’s progress towards meeting specific outcomes. This ensures continued progress through the apprenticeship by resolving issues and providing challenges for the learner.
