Benefits of Flexible Delivery

Delivery of training in the workplace has significant advantages over traditional classroom delivery. These include:

• Apprentices and Trainees are not taken out of the workplace for “blocks” for training, which means that employers can structure their workload more effectively
• Employers are included in the training process from day one, which means that they are kept up-to-date and are fully aware at all times how the apprentice or trainee is progressing
• Apprentices and Trainees learn on the vehicles that they are dealing with every day while using the tools and equipment that they are most familiar with
• The training is directly related to “real-life” work experience by linking the theory to the day-to-day work that the student is performing
• Training is delivered at regular intervals over the full term of the Apprenticeship or Traineeship. This means that students are not expected to “cram” training into a specified bock of time and therefore receive ample opportunity to practice their new skills.
