Proposed minimum entry requirements for apprentices on the programme From contact with stakeholders in the industry, we have identified potential issues with literacy and numeracy. GR ETB has a well-developed support structure already used within our apprenticeships to help participants with any literacy and numeracy issues. GR ETB has developed a ‘Study and Learning Handbook’ along with an ‘Introductory Maths Course’ which we intend to adapt for use with this apprenticeship. This innovative approach intervenes at Phase 1 of the apprenticeship cycle to support apprentices on their journey to successfully completing all phases of their apprenticeship as well as providing an integrated literacy and numeracy service. The following are our proposed minimum entry requirements: • Must be employed by an ‘approved employer’; • Level 4 Award or equivalent; • Non EU applicants will be subject to work permit regulations; • Apprentices must provide evidence demonstrating English language competence at B1 in reading and writing OR • Have a minimum of 12 months’ relevant experience in a related trade and/or Arborist employment; • Attend interview with Subject Matter Expert and GRETB personnel; Proposed minimum entry requirements continued • Non EU applicants will be subject to work permit regulations; • Apprentices must provide evidence demonstrating English language competence at B1 in reading and writing. Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) will be adjudicated through applications from potential apprentices who are seeking to use RPEL for access onto the programme. Once received, an RPEL process will be conducted to address formal and nonformal learning through one-to-one consultations with supporting documentaryevidence and assessment of application. GR ETB is developing a policy on Recognition of Prior Learning.
