Employability and apprenticeships

Apprenticeships give you the opportunity to work for a real employer, earn a real salary and gain recognised qualifications whilst gaining valuable workplace skills and experience. Apprenticeships last for a minimum of one year.

Already found a job?

Congratulations! You may be able to convert it into an Apprenticeship. Speak to your employer and check that they are happy to discuss the idea of you becoming an apprentice. They will need to provide workplace training and support you throughout your apprenticeship. Your employer may be eligible for a grant. If you are not ready for an apprenticeship, there are other pre-employment options including Traineeships. Traineeships prepare young people aged 16 to 24 (25 for young people with Learning Difficulty Assessments) for their future careers by helping them become ‘work ready’. They will last anything from six weeks to six months with the content tailored to your individual career needs, including: }_{work preparation training which ensures you} are ready and have confidence to take the first step in your career, such as an apprenticeship }_{maths and English support to help give you} the skills needed for the workplace }_{meaningful work experience which provides} insight and experience of the world of work. Traineeships are a stepping stone to future success and increase your opportunities in the job market. Find out how Traineeships can help you get ready for work.

Employability

Our free, one day employability workshops are intended for people who are unemployed, looking for their first job, need help to return to work or develop their career. The workshops will help you write a winning CV and personal statement for job applications and develop your confidence and interview skills. To join an Employability workshop you must: }_{have lived in the UK/EU for three years or more} }_{be at least 19 years old} }_{have a good level of spoken and written English} and basic computer skills.

The Access to Higher Education (Access to HE) Diploma is a full level 3 qualification which prepares people without traditional qualifications for study at university. If you would like to go to university but left school without the qualifications you need, then an Access to HE course could be for you.

Our Access to HE courses start in October, can be completed in one year and are available in the following subjects: }_{business management} }_early years }_{health and related health professions.} An Access to HE Diploma course involves completing a certain set of units of study relevant to the overall Diploma subject. The whole package of units is designed to equip students for university level study in that subject area. The detailed course content on individual courses depends on the subject of the Diploma, but all Access courses: }_{require study of relevant academic subject(s) at} university entry level }_{give students the opportunity to learn how to} approach study at university level and develop techniques to help them to be successful students. The Access to HE Diploma is assessed mainly by coursework completed by students throughout the course. A range of assessment methods are used, according to the subject, including essays, presentations, research projects and exams.

Entry requirements

You must be aged 19 or over and you will need GCSE A-C grades in English and maths or a nationally recognised equivalent such as Functional skills. If you do not meet the levels required we can refer you to our Skills for Life team who can advise you on courses to help you gain these qualifications. In exceptional circumstances you may be able to study a GCSE alongside your Access Diploma. The Access to HE Diploma is widely recognised by UK universities. We have partnerships with Birkbeck University and the University of East London (UEL) who both actively encourage applications from Access to HE students. UEL provide enrichment opportunities for our Access learners at their Stratford Campus including an induction programme and progression opportunities to help you gain a place at the university of your choice. You can apply to any university with your Access Diploma. To apply for a place on one of our Access to HE courses you will need to discuss the course and whether Access to HE is suitable for you with one of our Advisers. Please email bharat.dasoar@ redbridge-iae.ac.uk for an appointment.

Financing your Access Diploma

If you are 24 and over you may be eligible for a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan. If you successfully complete your Access Diploma and then go on to university and complete your undergraduate programme then your 24+ Advanced Learning Loan balance will be written off once you have completed your degree. There is no money to be paid in advance and the loan only becomes repayable once you are earning over £21,000 per year. Students under 24 on 1 September 2015 without a full level 3 qualification will not have to pay a fee if they are eligible for public funding. Detailed information on eligibility and financing an Access Diploma can be found in our Enrolment and fees booklet available on our website.

Joining a course

Before joining a course

Joining a course is easy but there are a few things to check before you enrol. }_{Please read the course factsheet to make sure:} –the course covers what you want to learn –you know how much it will cost, if concessions or loans and payment by instalments are available and if there are any additional costs, for example exam fees or for materials –you know if any specialist clothing or equipment are needed –you’re aware of any health and safety issues that may affect your ability to complete a course }_{Check that the course is at the right level for you} }_{Call us to arrange an interview if this is needed} before joining a course (look for the to see if your course needs an interview).

Enrolling

You can enrol on a course by phone, post or in person. It takes just a few minutes to complete our enrolment form. You can download a copy from our website or pick one up from our centres in Gants Hill or Ilford. If you prefer, call us on 020 8550 2398 and we’ll complete the form over the phone or send a copy to you. You can also email us at [email protected] to arrange a convenient time for us to call you to complete the form. If you enrol by post, please don’t forget to include a cheque or your debit card or credit card details. For some of our courses, for example Family learning courses or courses held at our Mildmay Learning Centre, Hainault Forest Community Association and at the Orchard Children’s Centre, you can enrol at the venue where the course is being held. Please contact us to check if this is the case and for details of enrolment times and dates.

Course levels

Entry level Entry level courses provide an introduction to the subject being studied. They are intended for people with no qualifications and are suitable for those interested in learning new skills or subjects. Learners can progress to Level 1 after completing their course. Level 1 Level 1 courses allow learners to gain skills that will help with getting a job or qualification and provide the foundation needed to learn at Level 2. These courses give a good introduction to a general area of work, and combine practical hands-on activities, project work and key skills. Level 2 These courses are intermediate level and are an ideal route into a career or opportunities to get qualifications in preparation for study at a higher level. Most employers use this level as their minimum entry requirement. Progression will be on to qualifications at level 3 or could lead to employment. Level 3 Level 3 courses are equivalent to A-levels. Learning at this level is challenging with courses offering solid preparations for a career or further and degree level study. Level 4/5 Levels 4 and 5 courses are the same as the early years at university and learners are expected to work on their own with very little guidance and solve complex problems and tasks.

(43)

Fees and costs

Concessions

Course fees are shown in the course listings earlier in the Course guide. There may be additional costs associated with a course, for example for materials and specialist equipment or tools. Please check the course fact sheet or contact us for details. Some courses may be free or available at a concessionary rate. You may be eligible for a reduced course fee: }_{if you have lived in the EU for} three or more years }_{if you are receiving certain} benefits, allowances or tax credits }_{are aged between 16 and 23.} Please phone us on 020 8550 2398 and ask to speak to one of our Customer Service Advisers to check if you can pay a reduced course fee or if the course will be free to you. We need to see proof that you are entitled to a reduced fee and you must enrol in person.
