Achieving Apprenticeship Excellence

Written by

Remaining abreast of the changes and trends in apprenticeships is a constant challenge. The pace of change in technology, workplace models, people’s attitudes and funding is so rapid that it’s tough to stay up to date.

Find a Training Provider exists to give you the inside track on current and emerging best practice in apprenticeships. We are ambitious in encouraging more employers to start recruiting apprentices.

Whether you’re new to apprenticeships or old hat now, it is always worth taking a step back to review your strategy and decision making to ensure your goals are being achieved in the most efficient way possible.

We have designed a free diagnostic tool which will ask you a set of questions to create some honest, unfiltered feedback. This can be used as a benchmark and then reviewed annually to showcase your progress in 8 key areas:

1. Strategic Vision

2. Innovation

3. Data Driven Decision Making

4. Technology

5. Culture, Change and Communication

6. Organisational Capability

7. Learner Centricity

8. External Training Provider Management

Each area will give you some feedback based on your answers as well as a set of actions to take your provision onto that next step up.

These areas were handpicked after extensive conversations with businesses actively recruiting apprentices.

They found these core topics to be the heart of their provision and managing them effectively almost always created a Gold Standard apprenticeship provision.

The team at FATP are passionate about providing an unbiased approach to apprenticeships, built on honesty, transparency and success. In the past, training providers have been given too much input into the government’s Find a Provider website, and often leave their advertised provision as wide open as possible to attract sales leads from you, the employer.

Our new search engine will allow you to filter by real provision which is checked regularly. You will also be able to see real reviews from similar employers as we all know, word of mouth advertising is best.
