Remote Learning

In accordance with the guidance issued, Pilot will offer all learners (apprentices and adult learners) a remote education option.

• Our tutors will teach planned and well sequenced remote training programmes as issued in learner course schedules and curriculums, giving our learners the best chance to build their knowledge and skills

• Pilot will ensure consideration is given on how best to support any of our vulnerable and disadvantaged learners and our learners who may not be able to access remote education without support.

• Our Quality team will take overarching responsibility for the quality and delivery of remote education, including that provision meets expectations for remote education set out in this guidance.

Delivery Arrangements

• The timetabling of all planned sessions will be re-confirmed to each learner in advance and invites to join sessions remotely will be dispatched. Learners are expected to confirm their attendance in advance for any invited group and individual learning sessions.

• We have identified and recorded any individual learner who has little or no access to learn remotely, these individuals will continue to study by individual prior arrangement.

• Pilot will continue to monitor attendance and follow procedures already in place for any learner not available to log into any confirmed sessions. Please ensure any changes to contact details are advised so our records can be updated.

• We will continue to have systems in place to check, at least weekly, for persistent non-attendance or lack of engagement with remote education and to quickly agree ways in which attendance and participation can be improved.

• Pilot will continue to deliver and receive assessment and feedback and provide learners with individual assessment and feedback to support progress in their learning via our learning platform in accordance with leaner individual learning plans and planned ‘review’ intervals.

Expectations of Learners

• Pilot staff and learners are trained and confident in their use of digital platforms, should any learner require addition support with our digital platform, a member of our team will be available for additional support and/or technical issues that may arise.

• Learners are in possession of their individual course schedule and must endeavour to attend all planned sessions and participate in remote education.

• Sessions delivered remotely will incorporate interactive ‘live’ online lessons and learners are encouraged to fully engage resulting in enjoyable and beneficial learning.

We will often run an initial session in the morning, allow learners time to work on their studies, then allow any one to one support later in the day as required.

Specialist Equipment or Facilities

• Individual support arrangements will be assessed, and provision made for any learner without devices, connectivity, or a suitable environment for learning to ensure their schedule of learning continues wherever possible.

• Course contents may be suitable adjusted where practical learning equipment would usually be available in our training room sites.

Support for learners with additional needs

• Pilot learners with additional needs will continue to receive high-quality teaching and any additional support.

• Safeguarding our learners will continue to take priority and our trained team will be particularly vigilant about new and additional safeguarding concerns. All our staff are aware of what they should do if they have any concerns about a learner and will act accordingly and immediately.
