Work based vs Day/Block release apprenticeships from Eastleigh College
Day/block release
Learners receive additional support and formal teaching within the college environment. Every apprentice is assigned a Training Advisor who monitors and supports the apprentice and is also the primary point of contact to the employer. The day-release option typically requires attendance at college for six hours, one day per week (term time only). Block release attendance is available for some types of apprenticeship, which provides eight hours per day of concentrated learning hours, a total of 40 hours each week.
Work based apprenticeship
The apprenticeship content is the same as day/block release without having to attend college. Apprentices will receive regular contact from an assigned college assessor who will ensure timely achievement of their qualification through target setting, ensuring their ongoing progress.
Quality assurance
To achieve the most comprehensive, reliable, quality-assured, apprentice training provision possible, we have developed a strong quality and compliance culture including:
- A dedicated quality assurance and compliance team who ensure our delivery is in line with funding body, awarding body and Ofsted requirements.
- A network of training provider subcontractors who we might call upon, as required, to complement our own facilities, resources and specialist expertise.
- A partnerships team who ensure that our subcontracted training provides the same level of learning experience that we strive to maintain across our main campuses.
