Apprentices with an East Sussex provider were so “overwhelmed” and demotivated by a lack of off-the-job training that they quickly dropped out, an Ofsted report has found.
Bestland Solutions Ltd, which has 20 years’ experience and trades as Training Associates, largely delivers adult care apprenticeships and had more than 552 learners on its books at the time of the inspection in mid-December.
Inspectors rated the provider ‘inadequate’ in all areas, finding that too many apprentices were “significantly behind” in their work and teaching was not consistently well-planned or structured.
Ofsted reported that leaders did not ensure apprentices received their off-the-job training entitlement, adding: “As a result, too many apprentices feel overwhelmed, lack motivation and quickly drop out of their apprenticeship.”
