Functional Skills Maths (Level 1 or 2) English (Level 1 or 2)You will complete Functional Skills in Maths and English. The initial assessment will determine your current level, diagnostics to identify support, where required, will be tailored to your requirements. Assessments are designed to measure the competent application of skills within real life scenarios. The final exams can be completed on line or paper based, these include reading, writing, speaking & listening assessment & Maths . Completion of functional skills may not be required where evidence of a current transferable skill exists, such as Maths or English GCSE certificates.
Personal Learning and Thinking SkillsThere are six Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills(PLTS) that provide a framework for describing the qualities and skills needed for success in learning and life. The assessment of these will be embedded within your apprenticeship.
Employee Rights and ResponsibilitiesEmployee Rights and Responsibilities (ERR) is part of all Apprenticeships. It must be assessed and clearly evidenced. You must understand your rights and responsibilities with regards to equal opportunities and health and safety. You will complete a workbook at the start of the program that demonstrates your understanding of this.
Technical CertificateThe technical certificate covers the areas included in the BIT Diploma, but also includes some short answer questions that you will need to complete in classroom environment. Strict exam regulations do not apply, however this is designed to be a closed book test and will take place towards the end of each classroom training sessions.
Competence - NVQ BIT DiplomaThe majority of the apprenticeship is made up of practical hands on project work. You may have projects to improve your area already allocated or clear targets in mind. The training delivered will support these improvement areas (as long as they are in line with the standards required for the qualification). You will be given underpinning knowledge training in the classroom and support at the project area from the your trainer. The assessment will be carried out on the tasks achieved and the evidence that you will gather and file in your portfolio. The target is to show that you have improved the operational performance of your area using the knowledge and learning you have gained during the apprenticeship. Your trainer will take you through the specific evidence required and the tools which should be applied.

The Assessment Process
Performance at workYour assessor will observe your performance in the workplace against the national standards
Work TasksTasks that you carry out which are applicable to your qualification – the product of these tasks may be used as evidence as long as the evidence is sufficiently current and relevant to the qualification
Recognition of prior LearningThis could be a relevant qualification or achievement
QuestioningQuestioning may be oral or written your assessor will ask you questions to ensure you have the necessary understanding to carry out your job activities to the correct standard where suitable your assessor may electronically record question and answer session
Professional DiscussionYour assessor may use a smart phone tor record professional discussion. These discussions will be based on the activities you have taken part in and are a good way for yourself and your assessor to discuss and explore the event.
Reflective accountReflective accounts are used reflect on your working practice. You will be asked to write statement on how you carried out a task this will then be assessed and used as evidence are your competence
CLS use a blended learning model which means that the training assessment and support will be delivered in a variety of ways to suit yourselves and your employer – The majority of evidence required to pass the qualification will be created through the project work carried out in your work area and retained in your training portfolio all. This evidence will be assessed alongside the workbooks you are asked to complete and the short tests you are asked to take.Support is provided through the classroom and project mentoring at the work place by the CLS coach. – The coach is also available to support via video conference and telephone.
Completion of the ApprenticeshipWhen all outcomes have been achieved your paperwork and portfolio is passed on to the internal quality assurer who will sample it and apply for your certificate if it is of the required standard

What Does The Programme Cost?
What Is the commitment required from you?
For LEVY paying companies (With a payroll in excess of £3m)The cost per learner for the apprenticeship is £3500. This will be drawn down from the amount in your LEVY digital account monthly over a 13 month period. At the rate of £233 / month / apprentice with a month 13 payment of £700 based on completion – This will be done electronicallyIf in any month you do not have enough money in your Levy pot to cover the cost you will be charged 10% of any shortfall. As an example if the bill for the program that month is £6000 and you only have £3000 in your LEVY account then you will invoiced for 10% of the shortfall – which in this example would be £300
For None Levy paying companies(With a payroll of less than £3m)The cost per learner for the apprenticeship is £3500. This will be 90% funded by the Skills funding agency which CLS can access.You will pay a total of £350 per learner spread over 10 equal monthly payments of £35 / Month. This will be invoiced at the end of each month once the training program commences.
22
Throughout the 53 weeks of the programme, 20% of the apprentices time should be spent working on subjects relating to the achievement of their apprenticeship. This will be documented with the assessor and can include training that is delivered at theapprentices normal place of work but not be delivered as part of their normal working duties, unless it is a result of their normal working duties being adapted/amended as a direct consequence of activities from the apprenticeship programme.This time must be directly relevant to the apprenticeship framework or standard and could include, but not limited to, the following;• The teaching of theory (for example lectures, role play, simulation exercises online learning or job specific training)• Practical training such as shadowing, mentoring (receiving and providing), industry visits and attendance at competitions• Learning support and time spent writing assessments / assignments• Team meetings• Improvement Project work• Documenting improvements and re training of improved processes

Next Steps
Select a minimum of 25 people to start a program and pass their details to CLS – There is no maximum number
CLS visit your site for the information session and tailor the program to your specific needs and agree start dates
Enrolment and skills scan day – CLS are on site to explain the course to the apprentices and carry out a skills scan for English and Maths for anyone who does not hold a GCSE level C or higher to confirm that they are eligible to undertake a level 2 apprenticeship. There is then some Health and Safety basic training
One week after the enrolment day the LLA training commences with Module 1 training
At around week 40 there will be a Level 1 English and Maths test carried out for those that do not already hold a GCSE level C or above certificate – This will lead to a certificate that we issue through city and guilds.
