What will I be required to do on the programme?

You will access high-quality, engaging eLearning content via Corndel’s online learning platform, Aptem.

Using these each week, you will explore one topic and undertake short focused tasks to apply concepts to your role. You will have a one-to-one session with your Professional Development Expert (PDE) each month.

Corndel also works with your L&D team to ensure the programme is tailored to your organisation. This may include bespoke workshops focusing on key priorities.

Am I eligible for a programme?

To be eligible for a programme, you must:

Be a UK resident who has lived in the UK for last 3 years.
Work more than 50% of your time in England.
Have an English work postcode.
If you are a previous resident of EU/EEA, you must have gained pre-settlement or settlement status.
If you are a non-UK resident, you will need to be on an acceptable Visa (the visa must cover the full duration of the Apprenticeship including EPA) and have lived in the UK for the last 3 years.
Work more than 16 hours (hours lower than this may be considered) per week on a PAYE contract (fixed-term contracts need full duration of the programme and EPA left on it).
Have the opportunity to apply learning in your day-to-day role and have support from your Line Manager to do this.

I might need additional learning support but I'm not sure. Can you help me if so?

At Corndel, we are committed to supporting all learners in reaching their maximum potential and we understand that everybody learns, processes information, and thinks differently. We have a dedicated Learner Support Team to help you understand how your brain processes information, which means we can make the correct adjustments to teaching and learning, including utilising our online platforms or finding the correct software, to ensuring the learning is accessible to your needs.

Through Corndel’s partnership with Cognassist, we offer you the opportunity to take a 35-minute cognitive diversity assessment. If a barrier to learning is identified, you can expect the following:

• 121 support sessions with a specialist Learner Support Tutor.

• Access to a bespoke cognitive diversity dashboard to help with any domains requiring support such as time management, memory, writing skills, exam preparation, productivity, wellbeing support, presentation skills and more.

• Support in applying reasonable adjustments through your entire apprenticeship journey.

Research suggests that 80% of people with dyslexia leave school without a diagnosis. For that reason, we do not require you to have a diagnosis to engage with our dedicated Learner Support Team. If you have ever suspected a learning need or have noticed barriers to learning that you would like to explore further, you can enrol on the programme and speak to your Professional Development Expert who can refer you to the Learner Support Team.

Is the programme content accessible?

Here at Corndel, we host our learning content, which is created in Articulate Rise, on a learning management system called Aptem. Both systems aim to comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to an AA standard. Our e-learning materials are designed to meet a detailed set of guidelines that makes web content more accessible to people with a variety of disabilities including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning and neurological disabilities.

Here are a few ways in which the learning content has been made accessible:

Learning content is compatible with widely used screen reading technologies and is keyboard navigable.
Alternative text descriptions are added to all image-based content and subtitles are included for all videos.
Contrast ratio levels of visual information (for example, text on imagery) meets the standard of 4.5:1 or higher and moving imagery is checked for any flashing that may exceed 3 flashes per second.
The structure of learning content is set out clearly with headers and sections, ensuring clear navigation as learners progress.
