Progress Reviews
An overview of progress reviews to discuss apprentice progress on programme.
New for 1 August 2022:
- P59 to P60 - New rules: We have added a progress review section and documented the minimum requirements of this activity. Updated for version 1.
P59
A progress review, to discuss the progress to date of the apprentice against their training plan, must be carried out at least every 12 weeks. This should be a three-way discussion involving the main provider, employer and the apprentice, so that there is a shared understanding of progress against the full apprenticeship.
P59.1 This is different to the required monthly check associated with learning support funding (see paragraph P82.1).
P60
The minimum requirement of the progress review is that it will:
P60.1 Check progress against any actions agreed at the previous review, including any training that has been delivered since the last review;
P60.2 Allow for any off-the-job training evidence, particularly that which is outside of your control, to be discussed, agreed, collected, or documented;
P60.3 Check overall progress of the apprentice against their agreed training plan, documenting any slippage against the volume of planned off-the-job training;
P60.4 Provide for an opportunity to update the training plan (e.g. where it is necessary to replan any off-the-job training that was missed or not delivered);
P60.5 Discuss any concerns that you, the employer or the apprentice have;
P60.6 Discuss any new information / potential changes of circumstance that might impact on the training plan. This could include any additional training required, or any additional prior learning or learning support needs that have come to light since the original initial assessment and / or the last progress review. Changes to the training plan may require the price to be renegotiated; and
P60.7 Agree and document actions for the next review. The record of the progress review must be signed and dated by all parties (apprentice, employer, main provider).
