Sign Up And Induction - Begin your Recruiter Apprenticeship journey with a comprehensive induction.
The first step in your apprenticeship journey involves completing the application process, meeting with your employer and training provider, and attending orientation sessions. During this stage, we'll establish your Individual Learning Plan, assess your current skills and knowledge, and introduce you to the key tools and platforms you'll use throughout your apprenticeship. You'll also meet your dedicated tutor who will support you throughout your learning journey.
Learning And Development - Develop essential Recruiter Apprenticeship skills through workplace practice and structured learning.
This is the main training phase of your apprenticeship, where you'll develop the essential knowledge, skills and behaviours required to become a successful Recruiter Apprenticeship. You'll spend 80% of your time applying your learning in the workplace, supported by regular check ins and lessons from your tutors. The remaining 20% is dedicated to off-the-job training through online learning modules, workshops and practical assignments. You'll build a diverse portfolio of content while receiving ongoing feedback and support.
EPA Preparation And Gateway - Prepare thoroughly for your assessment with expert guidance and practice.
As you approach the end of your training, we'll focus on preparing you for your End-Point Assessment (EPA). This includes finalising your portfolio of evidence, practising presentation skills, and ensuring you're confident with all aspects of the assessment process. Your employer and training provider will work together to determine when you're ready to enter the Gateway—the point at which all training is complete and you're prepared to undertake your EPA.
End-Point Assessment And Graduation - Demonstrate your skills through assessment and celebrate your achievement.
The final stage is your End-Point Assessment, conducted by an independent assessment organisation. You'll complete a project evaluation report, deliver a presentation with Q&A, and participate in a professional discussion. Upon successful completion, you'll graduate with your Recruiter Apprenticeship qualification. Your achievement opens doors to career progression and opportunities.
