FAQ

 

Can Anyone Do An Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is training for 16-24 year olds who have not already completed a qualification in a similar type of work i.e. already done light vehicle service technician and wants to do heavy vehicle, or done a retailing qualification and wants to do customer service. It is always best to check this as if level 2 has been achieved they can go on to do a similar subject at level 3. In Scotland priority of funding is set at 16 - 19 year olds, however on occasions funding could become available for the 20+ age group in some occupational sectors.

 

 

Can Anyone Do a Train to Gain Qualification?
Train to Gain is the government’s initiative to increase the qualification levels in England. Funding is offered to people who know how to do the job they are doing but have no formal qualifications in that area.

 

 

How Does The Training and Assessing Work With The College Model?
The theory training (Technical Certificate) is delivered by the college and the practical assessments (NVQ) are covered by Remit assessors at the customer’s place of work. Key Skills training can be delivered by either the college or the Remit assessor’s dependent upon the college contract.

 

 

How Does The Training and Assessing Work With The ‘In House’ Model?
The Remit assessors are also trainers and will deliver all the theory, practical and Key Skills training at the customer’s place of work.

 

 

What if the person who wants to learn has Learning Difficulties?
We have an Additional Support team who offer specialist support for learners with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) or Additional Social Needs (ASN). This includes specific learning needs such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD. The learner is visited at their place of work by a member of the Additional Support team as often as support is required. ASN covers a variety of areas including alcohol or drug awareness, low income, poor motivation and support for young parents. Every apprentice completes an initial assessment (BKSB) at sign up and fills out a Learning Support questionnaire to determine whether support is required. Any learner can then request support after they have started the qualification, if their circumstances change.
