For the last few years, I have worked with bright future software limited as Technical Lead Role and assisted apprentices whilst working on their projects. I was responsible for creating a process for providing a bridging gap between apprentice training and the commercial environment. This process was known as Commercial and Professional Training (CPT) and facilitated the apprentices in working on simulated and live projects for internal work and external clients. I managed this process which involved in excess of 80 apprentices to ensure that they were gaining invaluable commercial experience to support their learning journey. Much of the work completed as part of the CPT process enabled learners to achieve outcomes defined by the NVQ framework and helped to assess whether apprentices were deemed as competent in their work.
