Embedding Maths, English and digital skills into apprenticeship delivery is essential not just for compliance, but to build confident, work-ready learners. Yet for many providers, this remains a challenge.
This interactive Masterclass offers a step-by-step approach to mapping Maths and English against the Functional Skills specifications and aligning them with the development of Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) across apprenticeship standards, including Foundation Apprenticeships.
We’ll explore how digital skills and inclusive approaches can be woven through the curriculum and how AI tools can support planning, differentiation and delivery. You’ll leave with practical templates, AI guidance and new confidence in your approach.
Over a 3 hour interactive online Masterclass, this session will cover:
- A structured approach to mapping Maths and English into apprenticeship programmes
- How to align Functional Skills with KSBs and programme milestones
- Ways to develop and embed digital literacy in learning and progress reviews
- Inclusive strategies that support all learners to engage with maths, English and digital skills
- A practical step-by-step guide to using AI to reduce planning workload and enhance learning
- Resource takeaways to use and adapt with your own teams
