You will need to create a gov.uk account to access 'Manage Appenticeships', you will automatically be directed to create an account when you try to log in from February. You do not need to take any action at the moment.
We are looking to hold an open evening for some time in April to discuss the Level 2 and Level 3 standards and the End Point Assessment requirements, is this something you would be interested in ? We can also use this opportunity to dicuss our Curriculum Intent (you should receive a copy of this shortly from one of our work based Tutors) and other recent industry changes. Please ring 01226 243204 or let your work based Tutor know if this is something you would like to attend.
In the meantime if you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us on 01226 243204.
