Throughout the qualification, every apprentice will learn the core apprenticeship components, taking part in monthly sessions with an assigned Trainer Coach, spending time learning and enhancing skills, knowledge and behaviours whilst at work.
Time will also be given by employers to enable us to support and develop any required areas of maths and English with their apprentice, in preparation for functional skills qualifications, if needed.
An end point assessment (EPA) then decides the final grade for the overall apprenticeship.
The EPA consists of a knowledge test, observation at work and a professional discussion. These are all designed to prove competence in the workplace and all our learners are fully supported in their preparation for this.
All our Animal Care Trainer Coaches are experts in this industry and will be on hand to support throughout the apprenticeship. They will check knowledge and understanding through a variety of methods including assignments, workbooks, tailored resources, and observations, before agreeing with the apprentice and employer that they are ready for end point assessment.
