We alter this each year, so I am not sure how we will keep it up to date!!

Apprenticeship Training & Assessment Milestone Summary – sets out the indicative schedule for each key element in this apprenticeship, and which organisation will be leading delivery of each stage. This might replace an individual learning plan or refer to a separate document, but it must include a high-level summary of key milestones throughout the apprenticeship and who is delivering each element Dates may change in line with progress which would be discussed at the review or tri-partite review and an updated commitment statement then agreed and 

distributed.

Delivery Arrangements & Organisation

Ongoing from September 2020

 

Blended learning through socially distanced campus-based teaching and enhanced digital learning

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic and to safeguard the health and wellbeing of staff and students, academic delivery in the first semester from September 2020 will be a blend of campus based teaching and enhanced digital learning.  This will replace some or all of the learning plan from this point and will be reviewed as the situation progresses.
