Learners will be taught in a classroom and workshop environment along with on the job training and assessed via theoretical, practical and work-based assessments. Independent Hours of Study Outside Lessons: This varies but on average every apprentice will have to undertake the same amount of hours outside the formal environment as within the structured teaching and learning format. e.g. 7 hours in college = 7 hours independent learning Our Teaching and Learning Strategy is at the core of our approach to our students and their learning. We aim to provide a learning community where students achieve excellence and where achievement is celebrated. We want you to enjoy your time at college and to be successful. As a student at Harlow College you can expect the following approaches to teaching and learning: Your tutors will plan your learning so that you have the opportunity to achieve at your maximum potential They will ensure that you have plenty of opportunities to apply and consolidate your learning and will encourage and support you.

You will have an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) where you will be set agreed daily and weekly targets. Your tutors will make it clear to you what your focus for each individual day should be and will work with you until you achieve your daily targets.

Your targets and your achievement will be monitored on a daily and weekly basis to ensure that your learning is successful and so that you are clear as to how well you are progressing You will need to monitor your own progress too. We want you to become self-critical and to think about how you can improve.

We will expect you to work hard and productively and to be in college for as long as it is necessary for you to meet your targets and succeed in your learning. The pace at which you work is monitored but you will be expected to meet your daily target before you finish for the day.
