Apprenticeship Structure

• The following pages describe how the program is typically delivered. HOWEVER the detail of the projects and make up of the training elements is tailored to the environment and needs of the trainees on the program.

• That actual content of the training will be selected from the training elements that are listed in the following pages. This will be discussed at the Management information session and the training tailored specifically to yourselves.

• If you have Improvement projects, or specific targets to be met that could be supported through the use of Lean tools then you should make us aware at the information session so that we can take these into account

• Wherever possible, undertaking the training as part of a team is preferable. We recommend that around 5 / 6 people are involved from each area and that the person who is responsible for that area is on the programme. If this is not possible we will try to design teams that are complimentary.

Functional Skills Maths (Level 1 or 2) English (Level 1 or 2)You will complete Functional Skills in Maths and English. The initial assessment will determine your current level, diagnostics to identify support, where required, will be tailored to your requirements. Assessments are designed to measure the competent application of skills within real life scenarios. The final exams can be completed on line or paper based, these include reading, writing, speaking & listening assessment & Maths . Completion of functional skills may not be required where evidence of a current transferable skill exists, such as Maths or English GCSE certificates.

Personal Learning and Thinking SkillsThere are six Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills(PLTS) that provide a framework for describing the qualities and skills needed for success in learning and life. The assessment of these will be embedded within your apprenticeship.

Employee Rights and ResponsibilitiesEmployee Rights and Responsibilities (ERR) is part of all Apprenticeships. It must be assessed and clearly evidenced. You must understand your rights and responsibilities with regards to equal opportunities and health and safety. You will complete a workbook at the start of the program that demonstrates your understanding of this.

Technical CertificateThe technical certificate covers the areas included in the BIT Diploma, but also includes some short answer questions that you will need to complete in classroom environment. Strict exam regulations do not apply, however this is designed to be a closed book test and will take place towards the end of each classroom training sessions.

Competence - NVQ BIT DiplomaThe majority of the apprenticeship is made up of practical hands on project work. You may have projects to improve your area already allocated or clear targets in mind. The training delivered will support these improvement areas (as long as they are in line with the standards required for the qualification). You will be given underpinning knowledge training in the classroom and support at the project area from the your trainer. The assessment will be carried out on the tasks achieved and the evidence that you will gather and file in your portfolio. The target is to show that you have improved the operational performance of your area using the knowledge and learning you have gained during the apprenticeship. Your trainer will take you through the specific evidence required and the tools which should be applied.

What Does The Programme Cost?

What Is the commitment required from you?

For LEVY paying companies (With a payroll in excess of £3m)The cost per learner for the apprenticeship is £3500. This will be drawn down from the amount in your LEVY digital account monthly over a 13 month period. At the rate of £233 / month / apprentice with a month 13 payment of £700 based on completion – This will be done electronicallyIf in any month you do not have enough money in your Levy pot to cover the cost you will be charged 10% of any shortfall. As an example if the bill for the program that month is £6000 and you only have £3000 in your LEVY account then you will invoiced for 10% of the shortfall – which in this example would be £300

For None Levy paying companies(With a payroll of less than £3m)The cost per learner for the apprenticeship is £3500. This will be 90% funded by the Skills funding agency which CLS can access.You will pay a total of £350 per learner spread over 10 equal monthly payments of £35 / Month. This will be invoiced at the end of each month once the training program commences.

Next Steps

Select a minimum of 25 people to start a program and pass their details to CLS – There is no maximum number

CLS visit your site for the information session and tailor the program to your specific needs and agree start dates

Enrolment and skills scan day – CLS are on site to explain the course to the apprentices and carry out a skills scan for English and Maths for anyone who does not hold a GCSE level C or higher to confirm that they are eligible to undertake a level 2 apprenticeship. There is then some Health and Safety basic training

One week after the enrolment day the LLA training commences with Module 1 training

At around week 40 there will be a Level 1 English and Maths test carried out for those that do not already hold a GCSE level C or above certificate – This will lead to a certificate that we issue through city and guilds.
