Providing Support for Existing Livery Apprenticeship Schemes

We can continue to support those Companies that are continuing with their existing apprenticeships and apprenticeship schemes.

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 for existing apprenticeships will be:

  • One-year apprenticeship – £225 per apprentice.
  • Three-year apprenticeship – £530 per apprentice.

OneFile

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.

Winner of a Queen’s Award for Innovation in 2017, OneFile used LCAS as a case study featuring one of our apprentices.
