Apprentice's role
The Training Agreement
When signing a Training Agreement, the apprentice agrees to:
- Undertake all training and assessment required to complete the training programme
- Achieve a minimum of 20 credits in a year
Assessment
During their normal daily work, apprentices keep a record of the jobs they do in a work diary or on job sheets. When they feel competent in the tasks outlined in the Workplace Logbook or other assessment tool, they must ask to be assessed.
Once a task has been assessed, the apprentice sends signed off work place sheets back to ETITO [retaining a copy for their own records].
When the apprentice has been assessed as competent in all the tasks, they will have achieved their on-job unit standards. When all the on-job and off-job unit standards are completed and the required number of credits gained, the apprentice is awarded their National Certificate.
