• Relevant occupational qualifications and industry experience.
• A sound understanding of apprenticeship standards, End Point Assessment processes, and how to support learners to achieve distinction-level outcomes.
• A strong grasp of quality and compliance requirements, including Ofsted expectations, safeguarding, and ESFA funding rules.
