Learn new knowledge
Take part in taught sessions, activities and guided learning linked to the apprenticeship standard and your role.
An apprenticeship gives you the opportunity to develop new skills while working in a real job. At MI, your programme is built around your role, your development and where you want to go next.
You will have structured learning, support from MI and opportunities to apply what you learn in the workplace. You will also have regular reviews to make sure you are progressing and getting the support you need.
Take part in taught sessions, activities and guided learning linked to the apprenticeship standard and your role.
Use your new knowledge and skills in real tasks, projects, customer situations, systems and workplace responsibilities.
Your tutor and employer will review progress with you, celebrate what is going well and help tackle anything that is slowing you down.
Every apprenticeship is different, but your journey with MI will normally follow a clear set of stages.
We look at your experience, prior learning, current skills, job role and any support needs so your programme starts at the right point.
You will understand what the apprenticeship covers, how learning will be delivered and what you and your employer need to do.
Take part in learning and use your workplace to practise, demonstrate and strengthen new knowledge and skills.
Regular reviews help you stay on track and give you a chance to discuss progress, workload, wellbeing and support.
When you have developed the required competence, MI will help you prepare for the assessment arrangements for your apprenticeship.
Your apprenticeship should help you move forward — whether that means more responsibility, promotion, a new role or higher-level study.
MI uses a blended approach where appropriate. This can include live virtual teaching, one-to-one coaching, workplace activity, independent learning, online resources and progress reviews. The exact mix depends on your apprenticeship and your role.
Your apprenticeship includes learning activity that forms part of your normal working time. We will explain what counts, what evidence may be required and how your employer should support you to take part.
Your English and maths requirements are checked at the start and are applied in line with the current apprenticeship funding rules. Where additional development is required, MI will explain what support is available and what you need to complete.
If you have a disability, learning difficulty, health need or another barrier that may affect your learning, tell us as early as possible. We can discuss reasonable adjustments and additional support so that you can participate fairly in your programme.
You should feel safe and supported throughout your apprenticeship. If you are worried about your own safety or wellbeing, or about another person, you can contact MI's safeguarding team. You can speak to Bernie, the Designated Safeguarding Lead, on 07976 512623, or Caroline, the Deputy Safeguarding Lead, on 079766 523559.
Speak to your tutor first where appropriate. If the issue is not resolved, or you do not feel comfortable raising it with your tutor, you can contact MI directly. Our complaints, appeals, safeguarding, reasonable adjustment and other learner policies are available through the Policies section of this website.
