WELCOME TO APPRENTICESHIP
LEARNER ZONE
Welcome to The Purple beard Learner Zone. This page is designed to keep you informed about your apprenticeship programme and supplement your high-quality learning and career management experience.
Please review the Policies here.
Your Tools
The key to a successful gateway and End-Point Assessment is not only to be aware of the principles taught within your masterclasses/workshops but to internalise the values and put things into practice. Meaningful learning can only take place when you are effectively engaged (when you put your heart into what you are learning).
ONEFILE
OneFile is an E-Portfolio platform where your apprenticeship is managed and tracked.
MICROSOFT TEAMS
We use Microsoft Teams for online meetings, communication and learning sessions.
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
