We asked lecturers around the UK to provide their top tips that learners should follow to pass their apprenticeship with flying colours.
- Know and understand the qualification you are studying to get a good understanding of the units involved, when they will be delivered and the type of assignments you will be set.
- Try to be proactive in completing assignments and set aside time or make a plan so as to not do it all on the last day.
- Use the library computer resource when you have free time in college to complete work and/or portfolio as this will afford you more time, in the long run, for study when it’s needed.
- When completing assignments make sure you read and understand the question fully. When writing your answer, start the sentence by using the keywords from the question.
- Remember to put your name on all sheets if not presented altogether… though your assignment should be collated and presented neatly and in order.
- If you are using online resources in your work, make sure to reference these in your assignment.
- When taking exams make sure you use the allotted time. If you finish early, review your work and make sure you have read the questions and answered them carefully.
- A Casio Fx-85GT calculator is a must-have!
- Approach your course with a positive mindset to work hard and embrace the electrical industry and all the opportunities it offers .
- Take pride in all work, the classroom, workshop and site. If you look after your learning environment it will look after you!
- A sure path to success is to take the initiative and read/research beyond the subject when away from the classroom.
- Respect yourself and others on the course. You are all trying to learn and all deserve the opportunity to do so in a supportive and productive environment.
