Learners can start with a broad based entry qualification set at the Foundation Apprenticeship Level 2, progress to supervisory and independent caring at an Advanced Apprenticeship Level 3, as aspiring managers move onto a Higher Apprenticeship Level 4, with routes specific options, and then extend to the Higher Apprenticeship Level, the Level 5.
There is no requirement to start at Level 2 with many learners entering Apprenticeship learning at Level 4 or 5. Recognition of Prior Learning is key to initial assessment in addition to exploring the opportunity for transferable skills across frameworks.
