Around 25 years ago I introduced the ‘Shuttleworth Triangle of Love, or success’ as part of some voluntary work I was doing. Working in communities we were trying to strengthen families and relationships. As I was recently thinking about apprenticeships it made me think of my triangle of love/success!

Here at Achieving Excellence, we consistently reiterate what an apprenticeship is, and its benefits. Putting aside all the different parts of an apprenticeship, at the heart of our philosophy is you. You, as students, learners or apprentices are why we all do what we do. Your success is our success!

Our programmes and tutors are designed to consistently strengthen your day-to-day knowledge, skills and behaviours. It is to elevate you in your job role for the benefit of yourself, your employer, and your service users or clients.  

The most successful programmes, where apprentices successfully complete, and even achieve distinctions, are when the following connected triangle just works!

THE APPRENTICESHIP TRIANGLE OF SUCCESS!

As you, your tutor and employer work hard together to plan, teach and progress, the impact of your programme will be immense. You and your employer we receive added value. You will become what you are being taught!

Please work closely with your tutor and employer to develop a relationship that embeds and elevates your off the job teaching, learning and assessment. As your knowledge, skills and behaviours are stretched, by definition, you become stronger. You become ‘distinction’ ready! In partnership we will deliver an excellent curriculum and provide the platform for your success! We want you to attend consistently, feel safe and be inspired! We expect great communication and persistent progression!

Central to this success is PRIDE:

Professionalism

Respect

Integrity

Determination

Empathy

At Achieving Excellence, we strive for excellence every day. When we don’t reach it, we learn and grow. Striving allows that to happen. We invite all of you to engage in the pursuit of excellence in your apprenticeship programme, your work and personal life!

Please make time for your pursuit of excellence by embracing the “Apprenticeship Triangle of Success”, and PRIDE!
