Additional information

Teaching & assessment Throughout your training your tutor will guide you through assessments both in the workplace and at College. You will have practical assessments, online tests and assignments. Your personal assessor will visit you regularly in the workplace (or are happy to see you more often if you need extra help). They will assist you throughout your training to help you achieve your qualification. Apprentices may need to attend college should they or their employer wish for them to gain additional skills but this will be discussed with you and your employer. Our teaching and assessment is underpinned by our Teaching, Learning and Assessment Strategy 2015-2020.
