4-part webinar series: Getting initial assessment right for apprenticeship standards (starting 2 June)

Getting initial assessment right for apprenticeship standards is vital, and underpins the quality and effectiveness of your provision. What’s more, it’s been an increasing area of focus for Ofsted and the ESFA.

Initial assessment is no longer a just about compliance – in the world of apprenticeship standards, it needs to be central to the way you develop the curriculum and training plan for each apprentice.

Drawing on our work with over 1,000 apprenticeship providers, this 4-part webinar series will guide you through the different models and approaches you can use, and equip you with tools, case studies and insights to take action.

  • Learner Management System (LMS) controls

Who are these webinars for?

The webinar series has been designed for those involved in the delivery and management of apprenticeship training (managers, curriculum leads, tutors, trainers, assessors, teachers, lecturers, coaches, etc.).

Facilitators and speakers

Initial assessment is a complex topic. We’ve brought together three of our leading specialists, who have helped hundreds of providers and their staff to prepare to deliver standards. The series will be facilitated by Louise Doyle (specialising in curriculum planning and quality assurance), Chris Cherry (our lead on assessment and curriculum design) and David Lockhart-Hawkins (our resident expert in compliance).

Why an SDN webinar series?

SDN has supported 5,000 apprenticeship staff, from over 1,000 organisations, to prepare to deliver apprenticeship standards and end-point assessment. We’ve also worked closely with over 80 of the trailblazer employer groups, giving us a unique insight into what is required.
