This month the hot topic is still Apprenticeships - with youth unemployment still at almost one million, Apprenticeships remain high on the political agenda. Government also recently re-affirmed their commitment to work-based training and the Prime Minister has stated that Apprenticeships are at the heart of the Government’s mission to rebuild the economy. His comments come in the light of recent statistics which suggest that apprentices could add up to £3.4bn a year in economic gains.
It’s never been more important to raise the status of high quality Apprenticeships as a viable alternative to higher education, allowing learners to earn while they learn and gain that all-important work experience.
When it comes to NCFE Apprenticeships not only do we provide all of the component parts to make up an Apprenticeship but we offer great learning resources to help in the delivery of the qualification. NCFE’s aim is to make your life easier.
From the Knowledge Based Qualification (KBQ), to our excellent Functional Skills qualifications and Competence Based Qualifications (CBQ) - NCFE also offers qualifications which form part of the Additional Employer Requirements (training that’s specific to the area of work, for example First Aid or Health and Safety at work).
There is no `one size fits all` when it comes to learning and its therefore essential that we embrace the wide variety of skills of all young people and find the right route for each individual and help them to make the leap from education into the workplace.
NCFE offers high quality, high standard Apprenticeships - offering almost 50 full Apprenticeships and related qualifications at both Intermediate and Advanced Levels in a range of sectors from Leisure, Travel and Tourism to Health, Public Services and Care.
With more pressure being placed on the delivery of qualifications and meeting expectations, NCFE has developed a great package of resources to support the delivery of our qualifications. For our Health and Social Care Apprenticeships and our Childcare Apprenticeships we can offer a FREE package of resources to NCFE customers who have registered (or will be registering) learners on the specific qualifications within these Apprenticeship packages.
Our Apprenticeships are supported by exceptional customer service so that training providers can concentrate on the delivery of their programmes and helping learners to fulfil their potential.
