Training

Customer Service Specialist Level 3.

The programme’s delivered in 6 modules across 13-months. Each module consists of three components, based on our learning methodology:

  • Ignite: Online activities that participants complete before the Masterclasses, helping to engage them in the topic. Approximately 3 hours per module


Immerse: Masterclasses where participants get the opportunity to bring what they learn to life with practical activities and interact with other learners. 6 x ½-Day Masterclasses.


Impact: Activities completed after the masterclass to help participants reflect upon their learning. They are also designed to capture evidence of the knowledge that has been gained, and the skills and behaviours that have been embedded. This helps to build the portfolio of evidence that participants need for their End-Point Assessment. The time requirement varies depending on the complexity of the activities per module but equates to roughly 4 hours per month.

The total duration of the apprenticeship including the End-Point Assessment is 15 months. 

You will receive 1-2-1 coaching from your Instep tutor. 

If required, you will complete Functional Skills in English and maths.
