APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING

Train’d Up currently deliver a range of Apprenticeships for both young people 16 – 24 years and those aged over 25 years (funding is limited for over 25s). Although the details of each industries’ Apprenticeship programme differ, the basic framework is the same.

APPRENTICES MUST COMPLETE THREE IMPORTANT STAGES:

• NVQ Level 3 in the appropriate vocational field
• Technical Certificate – subject to framework (BTEC, NC, HNC etc.)
• Core Skills (Scotland) or Key Skills (England and Wales) at a level set by the Awarding Body

The NVQ Level 3 is gained in the workplace. It involves the Apprentice completing tasks set by the employer and their Assessor which demonstrates their abilities against the criteria set by the Awarding Body. The Apprentice must cover the tasks a number of times over a period of time and be formally assessed by the Assessor to fully demonstrate competence.

Core Skills and Key Skills include areas such as Communication, Numeracy and IT.

Train’d Up monitor the Apprenticeship Programme and ensure that Apprentices are progressing and achieving on target. Train’d Up visit the Apprentice in the workplace on a regular basis to formally assess competence and to conduct a review of progress (every 4 – 8 weeks).
