SUMMARY:Cirrus Online Roundtable: The Financial Testing Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Adapting to an AI-Driven World \n\n\n\n 4–5pm CEST / 3–4pm BST / 7–8am MST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinancial certification is facing multiple pressures simultaneously. Security measures that worked for decades are being outpaced by new technologies. Candidates increasingly question whether traditional testing methods reflect actual professional competence. Meanwhile\, the skills finance professionals need are evolving faster than assessment methods can adapt. \n\n\n\nThis isn’t just about AI\, though that’s accelerating everything. It’s about fundamental questions: What does professional competence look like when technology changes how work gets done? How do you secure high-stakes exams without creating such barriers that you can’t measure what matters? \n\n\n\nOur expert panel brings together perspectives from across the testing ecosystem to examine these challenges\, because decisions made now will shape financial testing for years to come.

SUMMARY:Understanding Apprenticeship Financial Management
DESCRIPTION:Apprenticeship financial management is complex.\n\nDo you\, and your organisation\, know whether your provision is modelled effectively and profitable? Do you meet the compliance obligations for pricing and costs?\n\nGetting your apprenticeship pricing right is essential for DfE compliance but perhaps more importantly for operating a financially sound apprenticeship programme. This three part webinar series is designed for role holders working in finance or operations to understand the funding methodology in apprenticeships\, the compliance obligations and benefits of effective implementation.\n\nFor example:\n\n 	How do you measure whether a new apprenticeship standard is financially viable for you to deliver?\n 	Are you clear on what the apprenticeship actually costs you to deliver and where a profit margin can be made?\n 	Can you forecast revenue effectively and identify profitability?\n 	Are you clear on what are eligible and ineligible costs and that you aren’t overclaiming or underclaiming funding?\n 	Are you reporting your training price breakdown correctly to the employer?\n 	How do you recognise the apprentice’s prior learning and reflect this in your costings?\n 	Are you applying the correct training price for your own employees (which must be at cost price)?\n\n\n 	Session 1 – The funding model in England and funded components\n 	Session 2 – Apprenticeship costs and pricing\n 	Session 3 – Necessary infrastructure and variables\n\nIn the webinar series\, we’ll help you to understand:\n\n 	the apprenticeship funding model in England\n 	understand price components of training and assessment\n 	eligible and ineligible costs\, how to identify these at a budget level and implement an effective offer to an employer\n 	cost models and options\n 	the importance of effective contracts with employers\n 	the role of employer co-investment and models of collection to ensure compliance\n 	Additional funding components: additional payments and learning support\n 	the impact of prior learning on cost models\n 	Employer-provider variables\n\nYou will receive a CPD attendance certificate after the series\, as evidence of your personal development.\n\nBooking\n\nYou can either attend the live sessions or be sent the recording and materials if you prefer to review them in your own time.\n\nIf you’re a public sector body (e.g. Local Authority)\, and unable to book via card\, please email us.

Register anyway and we’ll send you the recording and materials.\n\nWho is this in-depth webinar for?\n\nThis series is for anyone involved in the development of apprenticeship budgeting and financial operations. This could\, for example\, include finance staff\, compliance staff\, employer-facing staff\, business development teams\, commercial leads\, senior managers / decision-makers.\n\nNote: This programme is a 25/26 update to our previously delivered series on understanding apprenticeship costings.\n\nFacilitators and speakers\n\nThe session will be facilitated by David Lockhart-Hawkins\, SDN’s funding and compliance expert will facilitate this series.

SUMMARY:Considering an Apprenticeship?
DESCRIPTION:Are you considering doing an Apprenticeship to advance in your role or gain promotion? \n\n\n\nCome and hear from our apprenticeships expert\, Louie Stronach\, who has worked with many employers and apprentices alike to support people as they consider apprenticeships. He is aware of how exciting but also how daunting it is to embark on this journey if you’ve never done it before. So he is perfect to be able to talk you through what happens in reality\, how to use them to benefit your career\, and he can pretty much answer any question that you may have. Not many people catch him out now! \n\n\n\nOn the day\, we will have support from another member of our team who works on specific apprenticeship subjects namely Teaching Assistant\, Team Leadership\, Customer Service\, Sales Executive and Business Administration. So\, if you are interested in an apprenticeship in any of those areas then this will be particularly helpful for you and you can ask subject specific questions in the session or they’ll be very happy to help you later\, 1-2-1\, if you prefer. This really is helpful to anyone considering an apprenticeship though.

After working in the sector for over 20 years\, David has supported hundreds of providers to establish effective compliance systems. His in-depth understanding of funding and wider apprenticeship delivery gives him a unique insight into compliance across the organisation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis series is for anyone involved in the management of provider data\, focusing on data management leadership but would also be useful for team members in data operations.\n\nNote: This programme is a 25/26 update to our previously delivered series on ILR and Data management in apprenticeships.\n\n\n\n\n\n“David’s knowledge and expertise is unparalleled.”\n – Event attendee \n\n\n\n\n \nBooking and payment: \n\n\n\n\n\nYou can either attend live sessions or be sent the recordings and materials if you prefer to review them in your own time.

SUMMARY:The Power of Tiny Gains: Simple Strategies to Build Practical Literacy and Communication Skills
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nSmall changes can have a big impact.\nIn the wake of changes to Functional Skills requirements\, it’s more important than ever for providers to embed core literacy and communication skills into vocational delivery — especially for 19+ apprentices.\n\nThis practical webinar explores how to make gradual\, targeted improvements to learners’ written and spoken communication that add up over time. Using the concept of “tiny gains”\, we’ll look at how to build skills in a way that aligns with employer expectations\, inspection frameworks\, and learner goals — all without overwhelming your delivery.\n\nObjectives\n\nYou’ll learn how to:\n\nSet and track simple literacy and communication goals with learners\nEmbed relevant skills into vocational delivery (e.g. vocabulary\, SPAG\, transactional writing\, summarising)\nUse dynamic\, contextualised delivery to improve learner engagement\nEnhance learner confidence\, employability and progression\nMeet Ofsted expectations through everyday practice\, not add-ons\n“A 1% improvement every day for a year makes you 38x better by the end of it.” – James Clear\n\nFacilitator\n\nSam Woodland\, Pick ME Consulting\n\nClick here to find out more information or to register.
