‘Basic skills, digital skills, employability and transversal/soft skills are crucial in preparing young people for an apprenticeship and for building successful careers. This practical resource will enable pre-apprenticeship providers to develop and enhance their programmes to ensure that young people are equipped with the key skills they need for the future’ https://www.fenews.co.uk/
KYP determines the Apprenticeship learning module to be assessed (e.g., application of theory to practice and discipline-specific soft skills) and what kind of evidence of learning can be used.
Identifying the students need to achieve and be clear about what will be measured, taking into account any accreditation or certification requirements. Agree on who is involved in the assessment process and clarify roles in terms of how stakeholders will be involved, whether this be in only some aspects of assessment (i.e., host supervisor involved in formative assessment only).
KYP provides support and training for anyone involved in assessment as stakeholders may be unfamiliar with the aspect of learning, situation of learning and/or some of the methods used for assessment.
Consider the situation/context of learning which will vary between students and ensure the assessment package is flexible and realistic enough to account for variations while also being equitable to all students.
I would like to take this opportunity to provide feedback to Marnie, whose support and guidance have had a significant impact on both my professional development and my success in completing my level 5 diploma.
From the very beginning, you understood that I have autism and ADHD and worked with me to put a clear, structured plan in place to help me achieve my targets and meet the completion dates for each unit.
Jess has been amazing while I was completing my diploma with KYP. She has always helped whenever I needed it, marked my work quickly, and let me know if I needed to add more information.
Amanda has been an incredible tutor throughout my apprenticeship and has played a huge part in my development and confidence in working with young children in a residential setting.
I am most grateful that I had Michelle as my tutor throughout my apprenticeship, from turning on my laptop to see a friendly face, to hearing a warm and happy voice. Michelle showed lots of patience, explained things well and reassured me that all my questions and feelings were valid.
I have just completed my Level 4 Child, Young people and Families practitioner at a distinction Level and none of that would have been possible without guidance from Laura.
When I first was registered to complete my diploma, I was dubious and apprehensive as it had been a while since I had studied, meeting with Laura was great as instantly I felt reassured and confident without being judged.
I feel so relaxed with Amanda in our classes, she makes me feel comfortable and is very friendly and knowledgeable of everything.
