How you will be supported

At Waterton, we pride ourselves on helping all our learners achieve their full potential. All apprentices will attend 8-10 training workshops, followed by a preparation for assessment session, delivered by our team of highly experienced trainers.

Each apprentice is assigned a Course Tutor who will check in regularly for progress reviews and to advise on your portfolio of evidence which supports your learning. All our tutors are fully qualified teachers with a proven track record of supporting adults.

Apprentices are assigned an in-school mentor who works closely with the learner by providing day-to-day advice and guidance to ensure the apprentice is fully supported to succeed.

Our team are motivated to ensure that learners both enjoy their time on-programme and succeed in their training. Alongside meeting any personal goals and working towards career aspirations, every learner on a Waterton apprenticeship is working with children who deserve the highest possible standard of education and support. We aim to improve outcomes for these children by training excellent teaching assistants and early years colleagues.

Throughout the course the delivery team will work with learners to ensure that they have the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed in order to meet the requirements of the assessment. Time will be dedicated to practicing for this assessment and ensuring that all feel confident to complete this. We have an excellent track record with 97% of learners having achieved distinction in at least one area.
