Resources
You can find the resources for your apprenticeship within each of the named units. Within each unit, you will be provided with knowledge guidance in the form of power point sessions, videos, wider reading, research activities and a short quiz to test the impact of what you have learnt. The purpose of these activities is to build your knowledge and upon completion, they can also be used as part of your off-the-job hours.
You can also complete the knowledge assessment tasks that forms evidence for your apprenticeship and read the skills assessment tasks so you can prepare how you will apply these skills. Your Skills Coach will discuss these with you.
There are stretch and challenge activities within each unit. These are not compulsory tasks, but will allow you to apply a greater depth of understanding – so you may find these a little more challenging. Once again, your Skills Coach will discuss these with you.
