In addition to the Tutor-led knowledge modules lesson, you will have a Skills Coach (SC) and a Digital Programme Coordinator (DPC) assigned to support you throughout your apprenticeship.
The DPC will contact you every other week to discuss your knowledge module training progress and to check whether you understand the training. They will also discuss your work placement opportunities to gather evidence for your Summative portfolio.
The Skills Coach will work with you to develop your portfolio of evidence for the End Point Assessment. He/she will support you in gathering evidence for various workplace projects.
Both will support your employer (Technical Line Manager) to complete your Employer Reference / Evaluation, a document which highlights key competency and behaviour you have demonstrated for the final assessment, as part of the End Point Assessment.
