How can we support your Trailblazer?

We can help!
We will work with you in a flexible way. This approach aims to provide you with the benefit of our experience. If required, we’re on hand to assist with your initial consultation period to help your Trailblazer get up and running and in the right direction.
Developing Standards
Standard writing is our thing and we’d love to help create your Standards, if this is the kind of support you’re looking for. We can proofread, edit or even work with you to write them – it’s up to you.
Qualification Development
We are experts at designing innovative qualifications that respond to employer needs. Although not a mandatory part of the Trailblazer Apprenticeship, we can develop bespoke qualifications to enhance the quality of your Standards. Alternatively, we can look at existing qualifications and review them with you to make them fit for purpose, if you are confident that what is currently available could be refined to bring the qualifications up to date.
Developing Assessment Plans
Our expert team can work with you to develop a rigorous assessment process which meets the following principles:
- assesses what it is meant to assess
- allows fair assessment relevant to the occupation(s) it is assessing
- enables consistent assessment across the country, so demonstrating an equal opportunity and access to demonstration of competence.
Helping with Standardisation
Standardisation is a key requirement and a significant
challenge for any Trailblazer. We’ve over 25 years’ experience
administering external standardisation and advising on internal standardisation. Let us use our expertise to help you with this challenge.
Devising Training Plans
We can work with your Trailblazer group to develop training plans to support the successful application of your Standards. We’ll help you to make sure that these training plans:
- communicate the new standards to all employers in the industry sector
- support the training providers to develop their curriculum to meet the standards
- include a range of realistic tools for assessment
- ensure professional bodies and the Standards are aligned and delivery meets both sets of requirements
- support the delivery of Apprenticeships to meet the Standards in the most cost effective way for employers.
