What is an Apprenticeship?
An Apprenticeship is vocational training relevant to the learner’s current employment.
The learner not only gains an industry-recognised qualification but also soft skills such as communication and teamwork resulting in a well rounded and efficient employee.
Modern Apprenticeships are delivered in the learner’s workplace with minimal downtime and can be completed within a time period that’s suitable to both the learner and the employer.
How does it work?
Our trained assessors visit the apprentice every two to six weeks, at a time convenient to them, for around an hour or two.
During this time our assessor will observe the candidate performing their daily tasks and provide advice and guidance based on National Occupational Standards to help increase the candidate’s productivity and efficiency.
The modern apprenticeship is completed in around six to nine months and the candidate is then presented with their award.
“Working with Sixth Sense in partnership has definitely enhanced Scott’s opportunities for the future.”

What level are they?
Apprenticeships are delivered at various levels, determined by the needs of the individual and their environment. For example, Foundation Apprenticeships are delivered while a young person is at school to give them work experience and a taste of vocational training.
Modern and Technical Apprenticeships are the two most popular workplace Apprenticeships and range from NC to HND level, or SCQF Levels 6-8. These are the apprenticeships that Sixth Sense delivers the most.
Graduate Apprenticeships are delivered by Universities, normally after a person has completed the previous two types of apprenticeships. This pathway allows a person to gain a degree-level qualification while they work.
What now?
If you employ young people and would like them to gain an industry-recognised qualification while they work, that is government-funded, then get in touch and we can advise you on the most appropriate apprenticeships.
