Further information

The apprenticeship qualification will be a combination of work based assessment and attendance at training days.  All study is intended to enhance and underpin knowledge in your area of work.   Our work based provision also includes ‘distance’ contact, involving the remote completion of assignments, worksheets and more.  As an apprentice you will be required to submit any distance assignments for grading.  In return we will provide full and comprehensive feedback.  We support you to attain the required standard of occupational competency set against National Occupational Standards.

A minimum of 12 months is all the time you need to complete an apprenticeship qualification.   However to achieve within this time frame, Activfirst requires your dedication and commitment.  The apprenticeship training and assessment will be arranged around your work (as much as possible) and most evidence will be gathered by observing you carry out your day-to-day role.
