How it works

This programme typically consists of block releases, which take place at our Practical Trade Suite in our Derby Academy. Typically, we will work on the basis of a week spent in the Academy followed by three weeks 'in the field', where under supervision, the apprentices can get stuck into the job and build their portfolio. ​

Our unique learning approach ensures that apprentices not only grasp the theory but also gain practical experience under supervision in a secure environment. They then apply this knowledge in the field, working alongside experienced operatives. We strive to collaborate with your planning and management teams to prepare the apprentice for real-world scenarios, enabling them to work in real homes with real Customers.

Each apprentice is provided with comprehensive support, including virtual and on-the-job 121s and observations with one of our Skills Coaches.

All of this will count towards their off-the-job learning. But this will be supplemented via activities such as:​

  • 121s with their manager and/or mentor
  • Attending team meetings and keeping up to date with business communications​
  • Any mandatory learning your business offers, such as health and safety and data protection training.​

Our Skills Coaches will provide guidance and advice on what can be included and how to record the learning to maximise opportunities and efficiencies.​
