Webinar series: Embedding Effective Assessment in Apprenticeships

About this session

The way assessment is used in apprenticeships is shifting. With more focus on on-programme and pre-Gateway assessment, providers need to make sure their approach is fit for purpose. This session will help you build assessment into the apprenticeship journey from the very start – making it meaningful, manageable and linked to real workplace performance.

We’ll cover:

• Practical ways to design and apply assessment methods that work across different standards.
• How to build assessment into delivery – from day one through to Gateway.
• Making assessments reflect the behaviours, skills and knowledge needed in the job.
• Using progress reviews to give you (and the apprentice) better insight.
• Involving employers so they can play an active role.
• Simple tools and templates to plan, record and review assessments.

Who should attend?

• Managers, trainers, assessors and quality leads who want to improve assessment practice.
• Anyone involved in curriculum design or progress reviews.
• Employer engagement staff looking to play a role in assessment.
