Student Support
As part of our Student Support service, we support apprentices with learning difficulties, disabilities and medical conditions.
You can tell us about support needs during Onboarding. Please tell us as much as you can so we can fully understand your needs.
If you can bring any supporting documents, such as an Educational Health Care Plan, Educational Psychologist report or medical diagnosis letters with you to your interview, that would be really helpful.
We will endeavour to provide appropriate support for you, with needs assessed on an individual basis.
The type of support we can offer may include:
- A learning support worker to provide one to one support
- Support in your English and maths lessons
- Further assessments for Exam Access Arrangements
- Individual support packages for higher-needs learners in consultation with your Local Authority (this will be based on any existing documentation, such as an Educational Health and Care Plan).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a paid job which allows you to develop the skills, technical knowledge and experience to help you develop your career.
You will develop your technical knowledge through formal ‘off the job’ training and gain practical skills and experience whilst working. Apprenticeships have been designed by employers and include the knowledge, skills, behaviours and formal qualifications needed for each specific job role and sector.
Who can become an apprentice?
To be eligible, applicants must be aged 16 or over, living in England and not taking part in full-time education. If they are already employed, they can start an apprenticeship in their current job to help them progress to a higher level position.
What qualification levels can I study?
Apprenticeships range from Level 2 to Level 7. The levels and their equivalent qualifications are listed below:
Level 2 = 4 GCSEs
Level 3 = 3 A Levels
Level 4 & 5 = Foundation degree and HNC/D
Level 6 = Bachelor’s Degree
Level 7 = Master’s Degree
Access Industry currently offers apprenticeships up to Level 4, but we continually update available apprenticeships to meet learner needs and industry trends.
What is an Industry Practitioner?
The role of an Industry Practitioner (IP) is to create an Individual Training Plan (ITP) to suit your specific training needs. They will agree and plan training sessions and prepare you (and your employer) for your End Point Assessment. They will guide, support and encourage you throughout your apprenticeship training programme.
How do I get assessed throughout my Apprenticeship?
The ‘Apprenticeship Standard’ and assessment plan developed by employers will set out the knowledge, skills and behaviours required, as well as an outline of the methods that will be used for the End Point Assessment. Examples of different assessment methods are shown below.
Depending on the standard, the assessment methods will vary. Here are examples of some of the types of assessment that may be used at your End point assessment;
- Workplace observation
- Professional discussion
- Project proposals
- Exams/Tests
- Portfolio assessment
Whilst you are on your apprenticeship, your IP will use all of the above as well as your submitted tasks and journals to assess your progress and provide you with feedback and a ‘working at’ grade.
What is End Point Assessment and Gateway?
At the end of your apprenticeship, you will go through a ‘gateway’ process where your employer and IP confirm that you are ready for the final assessment of your knowledge and practical capabilities. The End Point Assessment will test that you are competent to work effectively and productively in your chosen occupation.
The End Point Assessment is graded. The Independent End Point Assessment Organisations (EPAO) and assessor must be independent of, and separate from, the training provided by the College and your employer.
Will I need maths and English GCSEs to be an apprentice?
Yes, but don’t worry. All apprenticeships include Maths and English Functional Skills which provide further development in these work related skills. You’ll have an initial assessment of your English and Maths skills during your induction, and you will have to complete online external tests in both subjects.
If you have already achieved qualifications in Maths and English to a high enough standard, you will be exempt from completing Functional Skills qualifications as part of your apprenticeship. If this is the case, your IP will continue to work with you to develop your use of Maths and English in the workplace, so that you can use these skills at a higher level.

Learning Support
As part of our Student Support service, we support apprentices with learning difficulties, disabilities and medical conditions.
We also provide support relating to any issues that may be perceived as disadvantages or potential barriers to success. The Learning Support Team will provide guidance before you start and during your induction in order to:
- Identify skills
- Assess support needs
- Ensure that the workplace and delivery is appropriate for your particular support needs, as well as your interests and chosen career path.
How to tell us about your needs
You can tell us about support needs during Onboarding. Please tell us as much as you can so we can fully understand your needs.
If you can bring any supporting documents, such as an Educational Health Care Plan, Educational Psychologist report or medical diagnosis letters with you to your interview, that would be really helpful. We may arrange a support review as a follow up to your interview, talk to your school about support you have received to date, and to your local authority about funding arrangements. We may also talk to your Social Worker, Key Worker, any health professionals you regularly engage with and parents/carers.
How can we help
We will endeavour to provide appropriate support for you, with needs assessed on an individual basis.
The type of support we can offer may include:
- A learning support worker to provide one to one support
- Support in your English and maths lessons
- Further assessments for Exam Access Arrangements
- Individual support packages for higher-needs learners in consultation with your Local Authority (this will be based on any existing documentation, such as an Educational Health and Care Plan).
Once you have begun your apprenticeship, you will have a series of one-to-one tutorials which will support your progress, feeding into an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and scheduled one to ones with the ALS team.
