Vision and Values
KYP’s vision—“We believe talent has no limits”—is embedded across its provision. Its mission is to maximise individual potential through high-quality, learner-centred training. The provider’s values, summarised as “I CARE” (Integrity, Commitment, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence), are consistently reflected in staff behaviours and learner experiences.
Progress
Since the previous inspection, managers have introduced skills scans that apprentices complete at the start of their apprenticeship.
Assessors review the skills scans through discussions with apprentices to identify what apprentices already know and can do.
Assessors use this information to plan training so that apprentices understand what they need to learn.
Assessors revisit the skills scan during the apprenticeship to assess apprentices’ progress from their starting points and replan learning if required. Because of this, assessors support apprentices in focusing on developing new skills as they progress through their apprenticeship.
Assessors effectively monitor apprentices’ progress. They use observations, assignment submissions, and reviews with workplace managers to inform the practical tasks apprentices must complete to practice and demonstrate their new knowledge and skills.
As a result, most learners are on track. When apprentices fall behind, assessors quickly intervene to help them catch up with their studies.
Monitoring of the quality of education of apprenticeships
Leaders have focused on improving the quality of teaching.
They have standardised the feedback that apprentices receive to ensure it captures their progress against the knowledge, skills, and behaviours identified in their apprenticeship.
They have also undertaken assessor training to ensure that assessors implement agreed improvements in their teaching. Consequently, apprentices focus more closely on their skills development and less so on unit completion.
In most instances, assessors provide helpful verbal feedback. Apprentices carefully reflect on the verbal feedback they receive and use this to improve the strategies they implement to manage behavioural issues in the homes they work in and how they would adapt them should a similar incident arise again.
Subsequently, apprentices are improving their workplace practices and further developing their skills in the workplace.
