As a reviewer – Don’t assume all reviewers are within your field. Be clear and comprehensive, avoiding jargon. Qualifications, skills profile and experience of supervisors should be highlighted Where something is required, make sure your approach is clearly and succinctly explained. Continuity of apprenticeship and plans to remediate disruptions are critically important

Top Benefit FIT’s Tech Apprenticeship programmes, by fulfilling the rigor of QA approval required by QQI, provide school-leavers, job seekers and upskillers with a premium accredited ‘earn and learn’ alternative route to securing well-paid quality careers in Ireland’s thriving Tech sector. Top Challenge Being an apprenticeship Coordinating Provider requires FIT to engage with multiple stakeholders (ETBs, Apprenticeship Council, SOLAS, QQI, content providers, employers, training delivery partners, apprentices and the wider community). Managing these important relationships effectively necessitates the investment of much energy, time and dedication. Recommendations Set realistic programme development timelines. Designing and implementing the QA infrastructure required of a Coordinating Provider is a very significant challenge. In our experience a new apprenticeship can take months from concept to first delivery. Ensure that your apprenticeship funding model is sufficient to support the development, quality assurance and early implementation. Enjoy and celebrate the small successes along the way. Developing apprenticeships is a long road and there will always be more challenges.
