Reduce APPED risk and strengthen workplace competence with ways of working that make KSB progress and application visible throughout the programme.

Stronger apprenticeship delivery that helps apprentices practise, develop and master the KSBs in real work, reduces end‑loaded pressure and gives leaders clearer visibility across the programme.

Strong apprenticeship delivery depends on clear structure and a training flow that helps apprentices build competence step by step.

We put in place the training plans, tools and ways of working that make KSB progress and workplace application visible throughout the programme - even where final evidence is collated later - aligned with assessment reform and early EPA expectations, reducing Apprenticeship Planned End Date (APPED) exposure, strengthening readiness, and giving leaders confidence earlier.

Everything is shaped around your programmes, your people and your apprentices.

A clearer training structure

Programmes flow logically, with teaching, training, practice and assessment aligned to the Apprenticeship Standard and connected to workplace activities that help apprentices practise, develop and master the KSBs while contributing real value to their employer.

Visible, reliable progress

Clear, visible indicators show how apprentices are moving towards the KSBs - both through structured training and through how they apply their skills in real workplace situations.

Progress becomes easier to understand, track and support.

Effective on‑programme assessment

Assessment is integrated into delivery and workplace activity, giving apprentices regular opportunities to apply and demonstrate their skills in real work, not provider simulations.

Capability builds through doing the job, not just describing it.

Predictable gateway readiness

Because apprentices practise, apply and evidence skills throughout the programme, competence and readiness grow steadily - not compressed at the end.

Gateway becomes a natural next step, supported by clear evidence and visible performance in the workplace.

Your bespoke Training Flow Plan becomes the shared reference point that keeps apprentices, employers and delivery teams aligned.

It includes:

• The full training sequence
• Aligned off‑the‑job and workplace activities
• Mapped KSB connections
• Planned opportunities to practise and apply skills
• Embedded on‑programme assessment
• Progress checkpoints
• Tripartite review prompts.

The plan provides one clear structure for learning, practice, assessment and readiness.
This helps reduce APPED exposure by making progress and competence visible long before planned end.

Clear, structured ways of working built in three stages.

Clarity → Capability → Consistency  

Clarity

Understand what is happening across the apprenticeship journey, where things drift and why.

Capability

Embed the tools and structures that strengthen delivery, progress, application and assessment.

Consistency

Maintain performance through simple oversight routines that keep the system aligned and stable.

• It reduces APPED risk immediately - even one day over now triggers visible flags.

• It prepares programmes for current and upcoming assessment reforms, ensuring systems are aligned before changes bite.

• It takes weight off staff by replacing ambiguity, guesswork and end‑loaded pressure with clear, structured ways of working.

• It strengthens apprenticeship outcomes by creating more opportunities to practise, develop and master KSBs in real workplace activity, increasing employer impact.

• It gives leaders clear oversight based on actual workplace performance and progress - not compliance admin or assumptions.

APPED drift does not fix itself.
One day over now matters.
