With experienced staff hard to find, most settings are growing their own — and every apprentice and new starter needs a mentor who knows how to do the job well. This course turns experienced practitioners into confident mentors whose mentees learn fast, feel supported and stay.
What you’ll learn
- Why mentoring matters for quality, retention and your own development
- The mentor’s role: expectations, boundaries and a strong induction
- How adults learn: coaching, modelling and feedback that sticks
- Supporting apprentices through their qualification and assessments
- Wellbeing and confidence — and what to do when a mentee struggles
- Building a learning culture across your whole setting
On completion learners receive an NFAQ-accredited certificate as evidence for compliance and Ofsted.
