Employers

They are technical experts, exceptional trainers and completely down-to-earth. We select them for their specific technical skills and personality combination!

Live virtual teaching is an approach where the entire curriculum, teaching methods, and resources are specifically chosen, sequenced, and refined for virtual learning. Live virtual learning, when done well, is not simply providing a teacher-led classroom session over the internet. It is much more sophisticated than that.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, many training providers had to rapidly convert classroom teaching to online teaching, whereas we already had a very well-developed delivery model for virtual learning and a track record for success, plus a training team that were already experts in virtual teaching.

Here are some of the key features:

Maximum classroom/cohort size is 12 in order to provide the optimum ratio of trainer to apprentices. This helps to ensure the apprentices’ attention, collaboration in groups and involvement in discussion is free flowing and not overcrowded. It also enables the trainer to easily identify and support any who need extra attention and to identify, stretch and challenge any who are excelling.

Sessions comprise of individual and group activities, along with the use of technical labs and interactive illustrations. We teach the latest industry relevant concepts, along with the how to use the most common tools and platforms which the apprentices get to fully interact and practice with.

Sessions are no more than 2 hours in duration and are scheduled weekly. Attention span through the delivery medium is fully optimised. This approach cultivates faster vocational development and better knowledge retention because skills are often then practiced in real-time between lessons. As a comparison, block training can stifle vocational development during the block training periods and hinder retention of the new knowledge gained throughout a block if the new knowledge isn’t practiced very soon after it is taught. Our approach also allows for relevant work-based problems to be brought to the next session and discussed to further build on vocational knowledge and skills in problem solving, which builds applied skills alongside the academic development.

Employers are able to see real-time development and can increment an apprentice’s responsibility proportionate to their developing skills.

Off-the-Job Training tasks are set weekly to consolidate the subject matter taught in lessons and /or to research in preparation for the next session of teaching.

The approach is proven to help ensure first time understanding and long-term retention of information – it goes in and stays in!

The minimum number of apprentices enrolled from any employer can be just one. This means apprentices can start faster without the employer needing to wait for the minimum number of apprentices stipulated by a training provider. Also, cohorts from a mix of employers and sectors broaden the apprentices’ understanding of industry environments and how different problems or challenges are approached and overcome.

Whilst this is just an overview of our delivery model, much more detail and examples can be provided in an information/discovery session.

Our Information/Discovery Sessions are typically held over Microsoft Teams. However, depending on risks from COVID-19, a visit can be arranged or, if you prefer old-school, we can explain things fairly well over the telephone!

We have delivered information sessions one-to-one or with up to 80 participants including senior HR/Learning and Development, IT, Data, Project department heads and prospective apprentices present. In some cases, employers prefer us to conduct separate information sessions tailored to each stakeholder/department.

Information only, zero ‘sales’.
Our Employer Engagement Associates are all qualified teachers who love vocational learning. Having taught for many years, they have chosen to have their impact on education by sharing information about the courses with employers and apprentices.

They are not sales people, they are passionate about education, have a great understanding, and a trained ability to share information accurately and thoroughly so that employers and apprentices are enabled to make fully informed decisions.

To book a session simply email or call us on 0300 380 0249 or email [email protected]

We provide employers with full visibility of each apprentice’s progression including lesson attendance, task status, Off-the-Job Training progress, resources, learning schedule and results. The highly sophisticated and user-friendly system is accessed via a web-portal, which can be provided to all relevant apprentice stakeholders along with user training as required.

For employers wishing to recruit three or more apprentices, we can provide a fully virtual assessment centre to test the final stage applicants. The exercises are selected to reveal the attributes required and are agreed with each employer. The ATP hosts and administers the assessment centre and employers can watch, participate or just review the results.

Look out for the testimonial from FedEx in the rotating banner below, who gained huge value from the assessment centre and have recruited three amazing apprentices as a result.

• Our specified apprenticeships throughout all of England
• To both Levy and non-Levy paying employers
• Apprenticeships to new recruits or to upskill/re-skill existing employees
• Updates on changing initiatives or legislation affecting apprenticeships or their funding

The Apprentice and Training Partnership is a Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP) Main Provider.
