Selection Process

Recruitment can be a lengthy process which would result in loss of working hours within your business.

With a work based apprenticeship, this will be combined within their current role and the individual will receive an accredited qualification at the end of the course.

We would be able to remove the stress of it all by the following methods.

Recruitment of new staff

Apprenticeship 16-18By signing a new apprentice into the business you can support a hungry individual who wants a future career within your business, working alongside experienced staff -

• Role defined by Employer and Training provider • Vacancy application via our channels. • CV and candidate shortlist• Interview at a date with you and the individual• Candidate selection• Start date

Alternatively, if you have a recruitment procedure in place, we would be able to supply the apprenticeship information for you and the recruiter for you to advertise.

Apprenticeship 19+This will follow the same process as a 16-18 apprenticeship. They would still be working as an apprenticeship, for their first year, where they will then move onto the minimum wage.

Internal DevelopmentYou would have identified a candidate within your business that would benefit from learning and developing their skills within your business. This individual could have recently taken on more responsibility or have recently been promoted into the position from another role.

As from 1st May 2017, the way that Apprenticeships are funded changed. The Levy was introduced and this means that if you have an Apprentice an employer contribution is now required. If you have a £3 million or more wage bill this is automatically taken via your PAYE. Otherwise a 10% contribution is required. Please see Last page for more information.

Summerhouse have also produced a handy guide for employers with more information on this subject.

Summerhouse are also able to access other forms of funding including Learner Loans, and support for learners who are unemployed, furthest from employment or who do not already have a level 2 or level 3 qualification.

Our friendly qualified team will be able to help you to identify the right type of course and funding for you and your aspirations.


The Funding

Diplomas or StandardsThe Qualifications are going through a reform and it is expected that by 2020 all Apprenticeships will be on a Standard as opposed to the current diplomas. Your Summerhouse Training representative will be able to tell you whether you will be accessing a Standard or Diploma.

End Point AssessmentIf you are going to be on a standard the way that this is delivered is different. Rather than assessing you throughout your time on the programme, the qualification will have an End Point Assessment (EPA) which is completed by an external party and may be completed away from the workplace and will consist of an Interview, exam and assessment.

Off the Job TrainingAn employer must provide the equivalent to a day a week (20%) paid off the job training. This can include:

Teaching of Theory; e.g online learning, role playing, lecturesPractical Training; shadowing, mentoring, industry visits or competitionsLearning support; time spent writing assignments, completing qualification activities or support visits

This does not include time spent on Functional Skills.

Meet the Team

A number of people will be involved in the support and delivery of the qualification:

Quality Assurer During your meeting, we will be able to explain how the course will work and we'll work together to tailor the programme to your areas of expertise and to match the career path you have planned. There will be quite a lot of 'paperwork' to complete initially, but it's necessary to secure the government funding. Don't worry – we’ll try to make it as easy and enjoyable for you as possible.

From there, you will continue to have teaching and assessment visits which will take place every 4 to 6 weeks. The meetings will last approximately 2 hours and will include observing you whilst you work to support you to improve your performance, holding discussions with you to support you in your performance and knowledge development, and applying specific focus to your English and maths skills to support you to achieve qualifications in these areas.

The content of these visits are built around your daily responsibilities and tasks, and by utilising our teaching and assessing expertise, we are able to provide you with a bespoke course, personalised to your individual development needs.

You can expect regular programme reviews, signing off on the targets you have achieved, embarking on new focus areas and planning future goals. You don't have to wait until the end of the course to see results; from these reviews, you'll begin to notice new found skills and track your progression through the evidence that has been gathered.


Internal Quality AssurerDuring your qualification, the Quality Assurer will ensure that the qualification is tailored to you, that the assessor is utilising the presented evidence to the best possible outcome. The Quality Assurer will hold Standardisations to ensure that the assessors are kept up to date on changes in standards and practice and will also sample your portfolio throughout your learning Journey. They will also complete observations of the Assessor delivering Teaching and Learning and will also deliver clarification and support for both you and your assessor.

Functional Skill TutorWill help you work towards and achieve the functional skill requirements alongside your Assessor. This is tailored to suit your learning style and need. You will complete Initial Assessments and Diagnostics to help us identify your areas for development and then the Functional Skills Tutor and your Assessor will work with you on these areas to get you exam ready.

Behind the scenesAn Apprenticeship Co-ordinator and Work Based Learning Manager work behind the scenes to ensure that your training programme goes as smoothly as possible and they will also manage the funding, learning and achievement process. They are available to speak to should you have any concerns or queries with the programme or assessor. Our Administration staff will also be dealing with all of the paperwork and finance side.
