What does BPIF Training do well?

• BPIF Training communicate consistently and make the recruitment / learning process easy for the employer.
• Builds a good rapport with the Apprentice
• Excellent bespoke programme and targeted support to suit the apprentice. We’ve been really impressed with the level of support available and the expertise of the apprentice training mentor who has given our apprentice invaluable support to keep her on track, focussed and positively mentored during a very difficult couple of years due to lockdown’s and furlough period. The BPIF apprentice training has offered flexibility and adaptation to suit ever changing situations which has been ideal under the recent circumstances and ensured that we have all been able to support our apprentice to successfully complete the apprenticeship. We are all delighted.
• Flexible approach to fit training to individual circumstances
• Foster and nurture apprenticeship programmes
• Keeps in touch with the apprentice and monitors their performance
• Keeps on top of the younger apprentice to ensure that they are up to date with their workload.
• Keeps students on track and communicates well with me as an employer
• Mentoring apprentices, communicating well with the employer, providing regular visit report with updates on what we can do as an employer to help them
• Takes each individual’s needs in to account tailoring to that person
• The communication and service we receive from the BPIF is absolutely spot on. They are so helpful and always ready to assist with the smallest of queries.  Thank you so much for all you have done to date.
• We have been kept informed all the way through & feel that we, as the employer, are given as much support as the apprentices
• Works closely with the apprentices and mentors them well
• Communication with our Apprentice Assessor is fantastic. Andy is always helpful, clear with the apprentices, and provides us with great feedback on their progress and where we can help them further.

What could BPIF Training do to improve?
