Units covered in the apprenticeship include customer and stakeholder relations in facilities management, as well as health and safety responsibilities in facilities management.
Facilities Management (England) Level 3 – Apprenticeship
Facilities Management (England) Level 4 – Apprenticeship
The apprenticeship will be assessed through an end-point assessment, ensuring learners’ knowledge, skills and behaviours meet the standard.
At Level 2, assessments will include written tests, observations and discussions.
Off the job learning
Learners are required to undertake a minimum of six hours of their working time in off the job learning per week, to develop new knowledge, skills and behaviours. By definition, off the job learning is a new form of learning undertaken by an apprentice during their normal working hours, which is directly relevant to the apprenticeship they are undertaking.
The process for off the job learning will be planned during the apprenticeship design based around operational commitments, and can be undertaken on a regular day per week or in planned block sessions, whichever is the best fit for the learner and organisation.
Progress reviews
To ensure learners are progressing in line with the apprenticeship expectations and timescales, we will monitor the learner’s progress and learning quality through a progress review, a three-way meeting between the learner, employer as well as the tutor or assessor. In addition to the progress review, we will ensure that nominated senior members of the organisation are updated on a monthly basis to discuss progress and agree any actions where issues are identified.
Progress reviews can be conducted in-person, or via a video or phone conference.
