If you would like to arrange training for Apprentice Reps, please contact us at admin@sparqs.ac.uk to discuss your needs.
In addition to our Apprentice Rep Training materials, we have also developed materials to help institutions generate interest amongst reps in the first instance.
The training is aimed at newly elected apprentice reps who have not attended training before. It aims to develop confidence in their role, as being an apprentice rep for the first time can be a daunting prospect.
Our usual face-to-face training is designed to be delivered to between 12-25 apprentices per session. It lasts 2 hours and is split into 2 parts. The first part looks at the role of the apprentice rep and what the Student Learning Experience looks like for them, while the second half takes the rep through the process they would go through as a rep.
It covers:
- Effective communication.
- Gathering apprentice opinion.
- Providing effective feedback.
- Developing solutions to issues.
- Meeting skills.

Tailored support
We have previously worked with colleges to tailor our materials to meet their specific needs and help develop their apprentice rep schemes. Therefore, if you are interested in this training, we are keen to discuss your requirements and how we can best support you.
