Study Method – Online and On Campus
We have partnered with Mindful Education to deliver this apprenticeship
through our Online and On Campus model. Apprentices study online materials
during allotted time at work, and also attend regular sessions with a college
tutor.
Online lessons can be accessed at any time, using a mobile,
tablet or desktop - meaning apprentices can fit their study around work
commitments, minimising disruption in the workplace. Each lesson lasts around 45
minutes and is accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts
to life. Exercises, interactive case studies and analytical tools help to
enhance the learning experience further.
On campus, apprentices benefit from regular classes with an
experienced college tutor, either in-person or virtually. A combination of
tutor-led work, group exercises and discussion encourages apprentices to apply
theory to real-life workplace situations.
This modern, flexible approach to apprenticeship training empowers learners,
minimises disruption to employers, and delivers tangible results in the
workplace.
Course costs
This course is free to apprentices, as the cost is paid by your employer.
Large companies can fund the course using their apprenticeship levy. SMEs can
