Ofsted

Graded as Good in 2022 Ofsted describes Apprentices know workplace expectations and conduct well, including attendance and punctuality at training activities. In most cases, apprentices are enthusiastic, determined and motivated to learn. They respect the credibility and knowledge of teaching staff, and tutors challenge apprentices to push and extend themselves. Consequently, apprentices develop a good range of occupational skills and relate them well to their workplace. Apprentices are aware of the career opportunities available to them within the businesses where they work.

Apprentices quickly increase their understanding of topics such as emotional intelligence. For example, team leader apprentices are better able to empathise with team members and understand their personal challenges and how these impact at work. As a result, they become more effective managers.

Tutors revisit these topics routinely with apprentices at review meetings to deepen their understanding of these themes at work and in their communities. As a result, apprentices gain an appreciation of diversity in the workplace and how protected characteristics influence working practices – in areas such as recruitment – preparing them well for life and work.
