Learners

DH Associates will work with learners on an individual basis offering you information, advice and guidance throughout your learning programme. Before starting your qualification your trainer will discuss with you the appropriate type and level of qualification that reflects your job role. Whilst on programme your trainer will offer you advice and support to help you progress, meet the targets set in your ILP (Individual Learning Plan) and achieve your qualification. They will advise you on opportunities to develop your skills and knowledge and guide you in using learning resources we provide. Towards the end of your qualification they will review your progress and achievement. You will have an opportunity to do a self evaluation of your learning and the trainer will discuss the next steps to help you move on with your personal development. This may include undertaking a higher level qualification, further training or research. If you need to access specialist advice they can give you information on how to access this.
