Clear intent. Visible progress. Workplace impact. EPA success.
I work with apprenticeship providers to strengthen how programmes are planned with clear intent, how progress is made visible, how learning is applied in the workplace, and how apprentices are prepared to succeed at end point assessment.
Most provision is planned at too high a level.
Training is delivered.
Content is covered.
Progress is tracked.
But the detail of what each apprentice needs to learn, apply and improve - and when - is not always clear enough.
Which means learning is not consistently applied in the workplace.
Employers are not always clear what should be happening next.
And apprentices do not always develop as well as they should.
This is not a delivery issue.
It is a planning issue.
When apprenticeships are planned with enough precision, and that plan is used properly with employers:
This typically starts with a focused review of your current provision.
The aim is to understand how apprenticeships are planned, how those plans are used with employers, and what is happening in practice as a result.
This provides a clear view of where things are working well, and where greater precision in planning and use with employers would improve how apprentices develop in their roles.
Any further work is shaped around what is needed in your context.
