Coach and apprentice in a lesson with notes and books

Supporting your apprentice together

Understand how we work together to help your apprentice succeed

Employer Responsibilities

Support from Start to Finish

Partner with your Coach to set training plans and attend progress reviews every 5–12 weeks. Stay flexible and committed as your apprentice grows into a more valuable team member.

Allow study time

Guarantee mandatory "off-the-job" training during regular working hours. This allows your apprentice to focus on the theory, assignments, and shadowing needed to excel in their practical role.

 

Provide a Mentor

Appoint a dedicated workplace mentor to offer guidance, constructive feedback, and personal support. A great mentor builds confidence and helps the apprentice navigate their new career path.

Create a Genuine Role

Provide a contract-backed position that lasts the full duration of the programme. Ensure the daily tasks align with the apprenticeship standards so your learner can truly develop their skills.

Aspiration Training Responsibilities

We have received excellent support from Aspiration Training over the past couple of years. Dental nursing tutors and support staff have been great in their communications, making it easy for the practice to manage rota while supporting the trainee nurses.

Safeguarding Support

Safeguarding is about having an awareness of what harmful behaviour is and how this can be reported and dealt with effectively. It is also about recognising that we all have a responsibility to recognise and prevent harm, particularly with regard to young people and adults at-risk.

As a training provider we have a duty of care to all our learners and, as such, we strive to ensure all our learners receive safeguarding information, guidance and support throughout their programme of learning. 

Our Safeguarding policy and procedure has been developed to ensure that our learners have exceptional levels of support as well as ensuring we are compliant with statutory obligations. In order to ensure our learners / your employees are kept as free from harm as possible, we would encourage you to familiarise yourself with our policy here.

Aspiration Training has a Safeguarding Team who may be another source of support and their contact details can be found in the Safeguarding policy. They would welcome the opportunity to discuss any further information, guidance or support needs you might have with regard to Safeguarding.
