The programme can be delivered one-to-one, or if an employer has multiple learners, we can provide a closed cohort approach with monthly or quarterly groups, while still offering individual support.
Learners will meet with their tutor once a month for the knowledge-based part of the programme. Between sessions, assignments will be set and completed through our online platform, Smart Assessor. Every 12 weeks a progress review will take place, which line managers should attend, to discuss progress on programme.
Learners must be able to commit to the programme, have the support of your employer and your job role must align with programme requirements to demonstrate the competencies needed to pass the End Point Assessment.

After the learning phase is completed, the learner, employer, and Intec will meet to determine if you are ready to proceed to the End Point Assessment (EPA).

Learners can achieve a Pass or Distinction based on their performance.

Case Study: Adam Young
“I’d struggled with my confidence before securing the position, knowing I would have regular development opportunities and one-to-one support has been perfect on both a personal and professional level. I now feel I can challenge processes and take ownership of my role, and I’ve developed new project management skills that have helped me deliver improvements.”
