Delivery of the Framework
The NVQ is assessed, usually once a month, in the workplace by one of our fully trained assessors. The apprentice should complete work naturally within the course of their work place duties, and this will be counted as evidence towards the learners portfolio.
Much of the evidence can be left in the workplace, without the need of the learner being burdened with extensive paperwork collection.
Our assessors are trained to carry out unobstrusive observations of the learner in the workplace, which is a fast, easy and cost effective way of gathering evidence and the learner demonstrating a range of competencies.
Key skills are achieved by the learner completing a work related project. Wherever possible we actively encourage employers to be involved in this project and support your learner by identifying a worthwhile and meaningful project.
Apprenticeship Time Lengths

For those aged between 16 and 18 years at the start of their apprenticeship a maximum time of 15 months is allowed

Adult Apprenticeships
On average a time scale of between 9 and 12 months is allowed, dependent on prior experience. This will be discussed with the Business Advisor on initial customer care visits
Additional Support
A range of additional learning support is available for those learners who may need help with improving their literacy or numeracy skills. All learners have to undertake an initial diagnostic test to identify that they are working at, or towards, the level required for the most suitable apprenticeship programme.
For those who have some areas of weakness, additional workbooks or tutorial support classes can be arranged.
Where it is identified that learners may have some pastoral support needs, LETG will endeavour to provide this wherever possible, or provide advice and guidance on where specialist support may be obtained. However, whatever the need it is always best to bring this to the attention of your assessor so that the right support can be arranged.
Additional support may also be provided for employers to help support any issues and concerns you may have with learners in the workplace, and we will always be happy to advice you wherever possible.
Employer Funding
Our Apprenticeship Programmes are open to all applicants, regardless of age. However Apprenticeships are funded by the Learning and Skills Council and funding is restricted to certain age ranges.
For Learners aged between 16 and 18 years - full funding is available for the employer for the entire Apprenticeship Programme
For Learners aged 19-24 years - partial funding is available with the employer paying a percentage of the cost to LETG.
For learners 25 years and over there is currently no funding available for adult Apprenticeships and therefore the entire costs will need to be paid for by the employer. (Please also see Train to Gain NVQ Funding)
