FAQs
What apprenticeships do you offer?
Above are all of the qualifications that we offer. More coming soon!
What's the process of enrolling on to an apprenticeship?
We try to make the whole apprenticeship process from Enrolment to End Point Assessment to be as simple and straight forward as possible. Here are the four steps to starting...
Once you have had your chat with one of the team and your line manager has also agreed, we'll send you through a registration notification email
Registration takes about 10 minutes and will involve you putting in some details, uploading any certificates of your Level 2 equivalent certificates. Your Line Manager / Employer will also be asked to complete an agreement too at this point so that we can access the funding and also ensure that you are fully supported.
The Initial Assessment and Skills Scan is next - these help us to know what your starting point is and know what we need to do to tweak the programme accordingly. We are not one size fits all kind of training! (Note: If you don't have your level 2 Maths and English, we also ask you to complete a Diagnostic Assessment at this stage too so that we can tailor the delivery of the Functional Skills to your needs.)
Once we have everything all signed from your and your employer and all certificates are uploaded or the Diagnostic Assessment completed then you should now have access to your learning platform. You will have an Induction session with your tutor just to make sure you are all set and know how to access everything that will make your learning experience go smoothly and then you're off!
What if I don't have English and Maths GCSE (grade C or above 4/5 or above)?
No problem - we’ll help you complete the relevant Functional Skills so you can achieve those too! Click above on the icons for Functional English and Maths for more information.
What if I achieved English and Maths GCSE equivalencies in another country?
English and Maths GCSE equivalencies are accepted with a Statement of Comparability from UK NARIC (National Academic Recognition Information Centre). Click here for more information.
Can I be part-time or term-time only and still apply?
Yes, absolutely - we will tweak the programme according to your contract and ensure we find ways for you to feel part of the wider cohort. Peer support is just as important as the support you will receive from your tutor and your line manager.
What if something happens whilst I’m on the course and it affects me finishing within the advised timeframe?
Life happens and we understand that. We’ll work with you to find a solution; that could be a break in learning or we just might need to adapt what you can use as evidence. We’ll have your back.
Can I do another funded qualification at the same time?
You can undertake Functional Skills Maths and English whilst completing an apprenticeship but you cannot take another funded course at the same time.
