Delivery and Assessement

The course includes assessment by the assessor at the employer’s premises. Much of the course work involves assignments/assessments based around the candidate’s job-role. These include a number—maybe 3 to 6—of  (unobtrusive) observation-based assessments at work and ATC usually works closely with the line manager in the practical arrangements. Most employers are really supportive about attending any necessary training and taking part in the programme, as they recognise the value to their business of candidates gaining new skills and a valuable nationally-recognised qualification.

The duration of the programme is neither fixed nor rigid, and can accommodate extra-curricular time that can be committed, as well as the flexibility of employer’s and candidate’s own self-discipline. Normally, ATC allows12—15 weeks for candidates to complete the course.
