7. Learning Method and Assessment

   As an IT Apprentice, you will learn mostly whilst working with your employer. Once you have been through the RWP selection process, we will help you find an employer to work for. One of our assessors will visit you periodically to assess your skills whilst you work; this will be approximately every three weeks. You will also attend RWP every other week to work on technical skills with our experienced tutors.

Once employed, you will be entitled to a minimum of £80 per week from your employer; some employers pay more, or offer you incentives during your Apprenticeship.
