How Ginger Nut Deliver

Our training delivery is based on a blended model of one-to-one sessions every 4 weeks, with group sessions, webinars, online courses, video, and additional support as required. This means that our learners have the guidance they need as well as the flexibility to learn around the requirements of their jobs. We find that this approach reduces disruption for the learners and their line managers giving everyone the best chance of benefitting from the training and completing the course.

The core areas are covered over the first five months with the specific route related learning taking place between months six and eleven. The last part of the training is then focussed on skills and portfolio preparation.

To support learning, all learners are given access to LinkedIn Learning, including bespoke channels designed to support their apprenticeship and Perlego, which includes full searchable access to hundreds of thousands of textbooks to support study.

To support the learners’ knowledge, we also deliver the following tailored training courses alongside the apprenticeship:

  • Cisco Networking Academy
  • Cisco Cisco Engaging Stakeholders for Success

Training is structured around a series of one-to-one visits covering the following core topics:

  • Managing data
  • Securing systems
  • Supporting systems
  • Communicating systems information
  • Professionalism and continuous professional development
  • Route specific learning
  • Presentation, customer service, stakeholder management skills

 

Project Activity and Portfolio Building

Throughout the apprenticeship learners produce a portfolio to show evidence of all knowledge, skills, and behaviours and how they have been used in their role.

Gateway and End Point Assessment

The End Point Assessment is based on a series of four knowledge exams over five days and a presentation and interview based on a synoptic project that the learner has 20 hours to complete.
