Welcome to your online learning hub for your Level 4 Application Support Lead Apprenticeship!
On this online platform, you will find:
- Your learning schedule
- Online learning modules
- Online classroom recordings
- Quizzes
- Guidance with your portfolio of evidence
Your Level Application Support Lead apprenticeship programme is effectively split into two parts. These can be described as the On Programme Assessment (with Velocity Academy) and the End Point Assessment(with BCS). Around 80% of your apprenticeship will be completed with Velocity Academy and the final 20% will be completed with BCS. The easiest way to understand this, is to relate your apprenticeship to learning how to drive a car. When you learn to drive a car, you spend the majority of your time with your driving instructor (In this case, Velocity Academy is the Driving Instructor). Then you come to your final assessment and this is completed by an external driving assessor (In this case, BCS would be the End-Point Assessor).
