Most providers know what they want their apprenticeships to achieve.

Providers typically contact me because they are experiencing one or more of the following:

• Too many apprentices beyond their planned end date
• Inconsistent achievement across programmes
• Employers attending reviews but not actively supporting development
• Limited visibility of apprentice progress between sign-up and Gateway
• Uncertainty about whether apprentices will be ready for EPA.

These issues rarely appear suddenly.

More often they develop gradually throughout the apprenticeship and only become fully visible when there is less time available to address them.

I work directly with independent training providers, colleges, universities and employer providers to strengthen the implementation of apprenticeship programmes from sign-up to EPA.

Together, we create greater clarity about:

• What should be happening
• When it should be happening
• How progress will be monitored
• How employers, managers and mentors support development
• When intervention is required.

The result is:

• Stronger oversight
• Earlier intervention
• Greater employer engagement
• Increased confidence in apprentice progress
• Improved planned end date performance.

A significant part of this work involves the development and use of Apprenticeship Delivery & Implementation Plans (ADIPs) - practical tools that help providers translate apprenticeship intent into consistent implementation and measurable impact.
