During the 13-month delivery all learners will have monthly mentor calls, this is to monitor their progress completing reflective journals; monitoring how the course has impacted on their behaviour and day to day practise; ensuring all learners are able to evidence the learning ahead of their EPA (End point Assessment).

During this programme learners will attend two online half day workshops and have a one-to-one session with their Management Mentor each month. After each session the learners will need to complete a reflective account looking at what they have taken from the workshop, and how this new knowledge has or could be used within their job role. This will be done using work-based examples and supporting product evidence, which will help build their portfolio and show the candidates’ understanding of the criteria covered in the workshop.
