‘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 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.
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.
I feel so relaxed with Amanda in our classes, she makes me feel comfortable and is very friendly and knowledgeable of everything.
Throughout my time working with Amanda, I have felt thoroughly supported and she has always been available if I have needed some help or advice between our monthly teams catch ups.
Jess has been an outstanding mentor and has supported me consistently throughout my qualification.
I have been enjoying the course as it has been able to develop my knowledge in many areas. I would of not been able to complete my units without the support of Laura.
I personally completed my diploma level 3 and 4 with the support from Michelle.
Michelle ensured that she worked around my hectic schedule whilst arranging meetings, Michelle understood if I have to reschedule if I was having issues within the home and it never made me feel as if it was too much trouble.
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.
