How Training Works

OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING EXPLAINED

Off-the-job training is a structured form of learning that takes place during an employee’s normal working hours, rather than in their personal time. This means the individual is given dedicated time away from their usual day-to-day tasks to focus on developing their knowledge and abilities.

The purpose of this type of training is to build the specific skills, understanding, and competencies required for their role, often through activities such as classroom sessions, workshops, or online learning.

What Off-the-job training looks like

Off-the-job training can take many different forms, all designed to support learning away from everyday job tasks.

This may include online sessions where learners join virtual classes, 1-to-1 coaching that provides personalised support and guidance, and interactive workshops that encourage discussion and practical activities. It can also involve completing assignments to reinforce learning, as well as shadowing experienced colleagues to observe how tasks are carried out in real working situations.

What your apprentice will learn

The apprentice will develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to perform effectively in their role. This includes gaining a solid understanding of key concepts, processes, and industry standards, as well as building practical skills that can be applied in the workplace. They will also develop professional behaviours such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management.

Progress reviews

Progress reviews take place every 12 weeks and involve the apprentice, their employer, and their coach. These reviews provide an opportunity to discuss progress, reflect on development, and identify any support or adjustments needed to stay on track. They also allow all parties to review training plans and ensure the apprentice is continuing to build the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required for their role. If you would like to explore training options further, we encourage you to get in touch.

How we can support you

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Aspiration Training for the last three years, and they have supported me with the recruitment and training of dental nurses in my practice. I would highly recommend Aspiration Training and look forward to continuing to work together in years to come!

Jemma Norris Practice Manager

In recent years, we have recruited a few dental nurses through Aspiration Training, of which all candidates have been great additions to our team. Aspiration Training is always on hand to help with any queries and follow-up from an employer's perspective. They are always efficient, helpful and knowledgeable. I don't doubt all apprentices we have will continue with us as full-time employees once they have completed their courses.
