Apprenticeships and qualifications are delivered through flexible models that combine remote tutor/assessor support, workplace observations and online learning resources, designed to fit around work and personal commitments. Access Skills integrates course activities with learners’ specific job roles, using workplace observation to assess competency and applying sector‑aligned resources, including access to Quality Compliance Systems (QCS) for regulatory and best practice support in health and social care. Learners benefit from one‑to‑one tutorials, webinars and workshops, a learning portal to track progress, and additional wellbeing and pastoral support.
