Introduction 

The introduction of different Review Types offers a flexible approach to managing reviews. Review types include Progress, Gateway, Teaching and Learning, Start, Check-in, Learner Support, and Exit Reviews. Each review type is tailored to specific stages of the apprenticeship journey, ensuring targeted support for learners, employers, and trainers. 

Whilst the questions in the ‘Progress Review’ type can be customised by Providers through TPQs, the questions in the other review types are predetermined and have been defined in partnership with Bud's Customer Advisory board to ensure they meet Training Provider needs.

Review Types

The types available are:

• Progress Review - the formal 12 weekly review of Learners Progress.
• Gateway Review - the meeting before a Learner enters into EPA, to validate they are ready and have met all of the minimum requirements. 
• Teaching and Learning – to provide specific sessions for trainers to teach Learners.
• Start Review – supporting the start of learning process.
• Check-in – an informal type used for ad-hoc check-ins as and when required.
• Learner Support Review – specifically for providing or planning Learners Support.
• Exit Review – to be used when a Learner leaves programme.
