As well as the full NVQ that we can offer, we have previously negotiated the delivery of the "mini-awards", a small numbers of units that can then be transferred to another learning programme so that it can be converted into a full NVQ. This is particularly useful when dealing with the provision of accredited qualifications to the creative and cultural industries; the majority of which are made up of SME that have limited time available to continuous professional development. These mini-awards prove to be very popular in introducing individuals that have not previously engaged with learning opportunities to begin to realise the value of them to their personal and professional life.

We are able to plan, deliver and assess the following schemes:

• Mentoring in the workplace; suitable for those that want to mentor learners on an individual basis and review their progress against learning outcomes. Mentoring includes walking alongside the person you are teaching and inviting him or her to learn from your example.
• Coaching in the workplace; suitable for those that want to enable individual learning through coaching, expanding the learners awareness of the internal and external issues that might be in the way of reaching a goal through encouragement and advice.
• Training and presenting in the workplace; suitable for those that want to design learning programmes and training sessions and present them to a group of learners.
• Skills training in the workplace; suitable for those that want to design learning programmes and training sessions and enable learners to learn through demonstrations and instructions.

An example of this is our Creative Launchpad: Train the Trainers project in the West Midlands.

We pride ourselves on being able to construct an individual learning programme for our learners so that they get the most out of the award for the development of their future career in the creative, cultural and community sectors.
