Practice Assessor and Practice Supervisor Forum documents
Progress reviews
Your apprentice’s enhanced skills coach will be contacting them to arrange regular tripartite review meetings. These are opportunities to discuss future development goals and reflect on past targets. Reviews require an employer representative; either the practice assessor, supervisor or both to attend and approve the reviews through the e-portfolio system.
Apprentice timetables
Your apprentices will access their timetables through their Virtual Learning Environment, once they have enrolled.

Apprentice standard and assessment information
The apprenticeship standard provides the building blocks of our District Nursing Apprenticeship and is the blueprint for the development of our apprentices across the duration of the course. The standard will help you to understand parts of the apprenticeship that may pose challenges for your apprentice’s development or provide opportunities for them to expand their horizons.
The standard also provides information on the end-point assessment, which is where your apprentice’s grades will be ratified following completion of all units and consolidation. This will take place within a one moth period after the completion of the 12-month academic programme. For this reason, apprentices are required an employment contract until the 31 October of their year of completion.
If you require any of the above documents in a different format, please email us.
