To successfully complete the apprenticeship, learners will be required to complete a workbook covering the theory, practice and principles of learning and development, before moving on to session planning and preparing resources.

Learners will also be observed delivering learning to a group or individual in a work-based setting, as well as be required to assess their own skills and knowledge in learning and development. They will also be expected to prepare a personal development plan for themselves, and keep a reflective journal to identify areas of good practice and improvement.
