Effective practice in curriculum planning 
 
Fareport considers curriculum planning strategically vital as it ensures that the training and apprenticeship standards aligns closely with industry needs. A well-planned curriculum helps bridge the skills gap, equipping apprentices with practical, job-specific competencies that meet employer expectations. By carefully mapping out learning outcomes and competencies, we provide consistency in delivery, enhance learner engagement, and improve retention rates. Additionally, a strategically designed curriculum can adapt to evolving industry trends, helping Fareport remain competitive while supporting apprentices in gaining relevant, transferable skills for long-term career growth. 
Thank you for reading this guide on supporting your apprentice in the workplace. You may also like to read: 2024 Line Manager Guide 
 
This guide is provided by Fareport Training. We are an approved training provider and have offered apprenticeships in a wide range of occupational areas for over 35 years. 
 
As line manager your role is crucial to the success of the apprenticeship. Without line manager support most apprentices will not fully benefit from doing an apprenticeship and in some cases will struggle to complete their programme. You will contribute significantly to your apprentice’s learning experience. 
 
At Fareport Training we realise that this can be daunting for many busy managers, with almost 1 in 2 managers saying they do not feel confident in supporting their apprentices. We are here to help you and ensure that your apprentice gets the maximum benefit from their apprenticeship programme. 
 
This guide will cover: 
What do I need to know about apprenticeships? 
How is off the job training taught? 
How can I support my apprentice? 
 
Fareport recommends mentoring in the workplace to support your training with us as your training provider. Linking the apprentice with a workplace mentor will keep them motivated and engaged and show them that you value their learning programme. A mentor can be a manager, supervisor, or an apprentice who has already completed the programme. To help keep them on track, a mentor can typically spend an hour a week with the learner to discuss their modules and progress and offer encouragement and support. 
What is a Training Needs Assessment? 
 
Training Assessment (sometimes called Training Needs Analysis or TNA) is the process of identifying the gap in employee training and related training needs. TNA is used to identify performance requirements and the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to achieve the requirements of the role. When setting up an apprenticeship, accurate TNA allows you to identify the learning areas that support the employer to plan meaningful off the job training and the provider to develop an appropriate training plan.
