The Enrolment Process for Apprenticeship Standards

At Skills Edge Training, we are committed to providing the best possible learning experience. Our straightforward enrolment process is designed to help you start your apprenticeship quickly and easily.

Before an apprenticeship can begin, we conduct a series of essential checks to ensure:

  • The apprenticeship is suitable for the learner.
  • The apprentice will develop new knowledge, skills and behaviours.
  • All apprenticeship funding rules are met.
  • Both the learner and employer are committed to all learning outcomes and completing the full apprenticeship.

Start your apprenticeship with confidence

We support both apprentices and employers every step of the way through our simple six-step process, outlined in detail below.

APPLICATION AND ASSESSMENTS

  • Proof of ID and/or residence documents
  • Copies of relevant qualifications

The apprentice will complete a series of assessments:

    • English and Maths Initial Assessments – These evaluate the apprentice’s current proficiency in English and maths. Each apprenticeship programme has specific entry requirements, and apprentices must meet the required level to be accepted onto the course.
    • Skills Radar – This assesses the apprentice’s current competency against the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required for the apprenticeship. The Skills Radar is used to demonstrate how the programme will support the apprentice in developing new knowledge, skills, and behaviours.
  • Obtaining the apprentice’s personal details, working history and qualifications.
  • Checking eligibility to ensure that the apprentice meets both the apprenticeship funding rules and course specific entry requirements.
  • Ensuring interest in the course, commitment and discussing career ambitions.
  • Completing initial assessments in English and maths

INTERVIEW

  • Ensuring the apprentice has the capabilities to achieve the apprenticeship
  • Ensuring both the role and exposure provided is relevant to the apprenticeship
  • Ensuring both the learner and employer are committed to all learning outcomes and completing the full apprenticeship
  • Review the Skills Radar to ensure the apprentice’s suitability and that the apprenticeship will add benefit to the apprentice with the development of new knowledge, skills and behaviours
