Avant Partnership

Avant Partnership has secured funding to support the development of your workforce

Provider Train is a new skills initiative that will develop additional training provider resources across the Yorkshire and the Humber region, funded by the LSC and European Social Fund.

The project is designed to build upon the existing staff qualified infrastructure by increasing the capacity of the Work based learning, Voluntary Community sectors and Employer as deliverers of accredited and non accredited training programmes. Building and improving the capacity and capability of training within small organisations with less than 50 staff by increasing the number of assessors, verifiers and other delivery opportunities, which will enable the delivery of occupationally relevant qualifications and provide responsive and flexible work based learning. 

The opportunity through Avant Partnership will contribute to building staff capacity to support your current and new staff to meet the requirements of the new teaching reforms.  The programme has been specifically tailored to meet the needs of staff within Work Based Learning Providers and Voluntary and Community organisations, and includes the following:

·   Assessor & Verifier Awards

·   Learning & Development Awards

·   Level 3 Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS)

The three qualifications will be delivered to all delegates as part of a single programme.  There will be 2 cohorts of 15 learners in each cohort with the first expected to start at the beginning of February 2009 and the second to start June 2009. 

Delegates will each attend a 4 hour workshop every week for 16 weeks receiving structured training and development, building portfolios, writing assignments and delivering presentations.   Avant Partnership will provide an innovative and creative learning programme that is tailored to the needs of the sector, which will build upon and address any current capacity and delivery problems.
