What is a work-based programme?
Our programmes are built around a
National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) which is a work based qualification
which assess the skills and knowledge people have and need to perform their job
role effectively. We will also include any additional training you require for
all your staff FREE OF CHARGE,
Is it really FREE?
Yes!! Our programmes are funded by the
Government and is therefore available FREE of charge (limited restrictions
apply) to any new or existing employees in the UK. Once we access this funding
for our work-based learning programmes we can provide all the other services in
our portfolio to our customers FREE of charge too.
What does a work based qualification involve?
Learners will build a portfolio of
work-based evidence which includes observations, product evidence, witness
testimonies, questions and answers and discussion. They may also complete
multiple choice exams, assignments and training days - depending on the
programme you design with our team.
What support is given to the learners?
An appointed Assessor will visit your
people at their place of work at pre-arranged, regular intervals and will
assign personalised action plans of work to complete. They are also contactable
in between visits, for any help and advice that may be required. Learners whose
programme includes training days will also have contact with their trainer for
support before and after the session. All our learners also have access to our
OLLIE courses available on-line in a secure password protected environment.
When and where is the training done?
Our work-based programmes are delivered
one-to-one at the learner’s place of work however group training can be
delivered either at TFT’s training rooms, your company offices or any other
convenient, appropriate venue. The frequency of training and assessment visits
is negotiated with the Employer on an individual basis.
What are the benefits of completing a
work-based programme?
An NVQ establishes good all round
knowledge, understanding and confidence in the job your people are required to
do. They will receive a nationally
recognised qualification for being effective, knowledgeable and efficient in their job role and our programmes
are proven to improve sales, retention and morale.
