Apprenticeships with Optional Qualifications
How are apprenticeships delivered?
Apprentices are taught by qualified tutors and supported by a dedicated skills coach. Progress is reviewed every 12 weeks with the apprentice and their line manager.
Central teams are kept informed of the progress of all apprentices through management reports and a review meeting at a frequency determined by the employer. All such reviews are led by a director or ‘Head Of’ from Aspire. View our apprenticeship journey below:
The apprentice completes an initial assessment
including setting objectives and a timeline for the apprenticeship.
Aspire designs and agrees a Training Plan, including all knowledge tuition and skills activities, signed off by the employer.
The apprentice enrols onto the apprenticeship and works through the Training Plan.
Progress review with a dedicated skills coach every 12 weeks. Both the apprentice and line manager will need to be present for these.
The learner completes all of the Training Plan and enters the End Point Assessment, which is different for each apprenticeship.
The apprentice will then be assessed and awarded a grade of distinction or pass.
