We can continue to support those Companies that are continuing with their existing apprenticeship scheme.

Initially LCAS would:

• Link apprentices to OneFile – set up accounts
• Provide training for apprentices and assessors in general use and to cover assessments.

LCAS would also provide ongoing management to:

• Check that apprentices are generating evidence for assessments
• Support assessors with assessment recording
• Support assessors/users in using the reporting features for monitoring apprentices
• Monitor apprentices’ progress and achievement

On completion LCAS would issue:

• Final achievement accreditation, certification and archiving of accounts.

The costs for providing this service on application.

OneFile is a leading learning and development platform that brings training and assessment together – allowing users to track their entire learning journey from initial enrolment to end-point assessment.

LCAS uses the OneFile cloud-based eportfolio management and assessment software to monitor apprentices across the country.
