What does remote education look like for a learner?

Remote education provision: information for learners and their employers

This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to learners and employers about what to expect from remote education.

What does remote education look like for me as a learner?

Where your learning must be delivered remotely, this will usually be taught sessions or coaching delivered via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Sessions may become shorter, with more regular breaks, or even become more frequent (where it is possible to do this).

The OneFile E Portfolio system will be accessible to you, where you can access resources and upload assessment evidence, record learning journals and timesheet entries.

If I do not have digital or online access at home, how will you support me to access remote education?

We recognise that some learners may not have suitable online access at home. We take the following approaches to support those learners to access remote education:

  • where possible, we can provide equipment such as laptops or Chromebooks to support you to access your learning online
  • we will work with your employer to see if they can support with IT equipment, for you to access remote education
  • printed material can be arranged to help you to continue to progress
  • regular telephone contact (in agreement) will be made to support you remotely

How will I be taught remotely?

Some examples of remote teaching approaches:

  • live teaching (online sessions)
  • recorded teaching or catch up from live sessions
  • printed paper packs produced by the Development Coach (e.g. workbooks, worksheets)
  • long-term project work and/or internet research
Do you have your own training facilities?

The majority of training we deliver is blended on-site and online instructor led.

However we also offer training facilities at our Market Harborough head office and Chesterfield offices.

How do I prove my functional skills level in Maths and English

Within apprenticeships, you are required to prove you have functional skills in Maths and English by the time you complete the programme. You may be exempt, in which case you can use options 1 and 2.

Option 1 – Your first port of call is that if you have completed a Maths and English qualification within the last 10 years, your school, college or training provider should have uploaded the details to the Learner Records Service and this is seen as proof that you have completed this element. However, not all training providers are fastidious as CQM and sometimes the record is missing (so you may need to prompt them if you can).

Option 2 – Your second option is to find your certificate to prove you have the qualification. Or if you know your awarding organisation, you can request a replacement certificate.

Option 3 – Your final option is that you will need to undertake functional skills qualification including the examination, at the level required, during the programme.
