‘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.
Michelle has been extremely supportive throughout my apprenticeship and was always available whenever I needed help. Units were sent promptly, and additional units were provided quickly whenever I requested them.
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 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.
I feel that you really helped in completing my qualification as you were super supportive, always at the end of a team’s call or email if I needed any help or guidance and the feedback you would give me on my units gave me the confidence in completing more!
I would like to provide feedback on my assessor, Amanda, and my experience during this course. Throughout the course I have felt very well supported.
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.
When I started my apprenticeship, I was nervous and anxious. I had never worked with children with complex trauma before and I was really unsure of what I was doing. Everything seemed new and strange.
Amanda has been very helpful and supportive during my course, always providing great information during meetings and talking through units if needed.
