Key Learning Requirements

Apprenticeships require learners to achieve specific new knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs), which are detailed in the Apprenticeship Standard. These are acheived by;

1) Programme Teaching; via virtual webinars and online materials and resources. The programme includes virtual classroom sessions aimed at interactive activity and reflection with peers, alongside developmental workshops aimed at improving the skills developed in a practical way. BPP’s Virtual Learning Environment includes video content, e-text books, case studies and other learning resources. Apprentices will be allocated a BPP qualified and experienced professional to operate as a mentor throughout the programme. They will provide meaningful feedback on individual practice whilst helping to reflect on strengths and development areas to improve the overall capability and performance. There are six weekly telephone or video calls with a BPP Coach who will help apprentice to consider how their learning has been applied and to agree development objectives. If learners choose to undertake the optional NHS Leadership Academy Edward Jenner programme this may require additional learning time alongside the apprenticeship, clarification will be provided by the training provider.
2) Independent study; such as assignment/project research and write up. Self-study prepares apprentices for expert discussion within class whilst setting objectives to apply learning in the workplace, retrospectively encouraging reflection for further development and improvement.
3) Learning in the workplace; shadowing colleagues, completing programme assigned work based projects, day-to-day development within your current role duties/work activities, reflections with mentor, relevant training sessions.
