One of the main judgements in the new OfSTED Inspection Framework 2019 is the need for education and training providers to demonstrate the impact of their apprenticeship curriculum.
When inspectors evaluate the impact of the education provided by the provider, they will focus on what learners have learned, and the skills they have gained and can apply.
This is an area of delivery that providers need to ensure they have addressed and therefore need to have performed their own analysis on their deliver performance.
Measuring Apprenticeship Performance
For many providers, the extent of measuring apprenticeship performance is the use of QAR data and learner and employer feedback. This though does not meet the needs of demonstrating the impact if of the delivery. There needs to be a deeper analysis of performance against specific outcomes metrics.
This is where outcomes assessment can be used to set performance measures for the apprenticeship standards outcomes and to review, analyse, add findings and action plan improvements.
We thought it might be useful to put a short paper together to help providers understand the need for measuring apprenticeship performance.
