Virtual ‘Behaviour & ILM L3 Learning Programme’ for Network Rail Apprentices

We have been extremely busy since early June rapidly designing and then delivering an extensive virtual learning programme to three hundred (300) Network Rail Year 3 Apprentices on behalf of Babcock International Group.  We designed, developed and delivered four separate virtual modules.  Each virtual module covered different behaviours identified in the Rail Engineering Technician standard that the apprentices need to evidence during their End Point Assessment (EPA).  Each module also included different units within the ILM Level 3 Certificate in Leadership and Management programme.

 

Apprentices progressively mapped evidence for their EPA and completed the underpinning knowledge elements of each relevant ILM L3 unit.  The virtual modules were interactive, wholly contextualised to the workplace and the feedback from the Apprentices was overwhelmingly positive.  The Apprentices undertook the learning in classes of ten with two classes attending the learning each week.  The four-month programme was completed on 2 October 2020.  We wish all the Apprentices well during their EPAs and subsequent learning and career journeys.

ILM Level 2 Programme Update

In early October Benchmark Training Ltd delivered two days of leadership development activities on behalf of Babcock International Group for Cohort Five of the Network Rail Apprenticeship scheme. A total of 157 apprentices participated in a series of highly practical leadership development activities over two days, during their induction week at Network Rail’s Westwood Training Centre.
The aim of the two days was to give the apprentices a flavour of what to expect during the ILM Level 2 Certificate in Team Leading element of their apprenticeship. Each activity focussed on fun and engagement and involved the apprentices applying many of the skills and behaviours underpinning effective leadership including assessing, planning, briefing, coaching, motivating and reviewing. The programme was a great way to introduce the new apprentices to the very positive impact that great leadership has on the business and further encouraged their interest and understanding in this key capability that typically underpins successful individual and team safety and performance.
