Student and Learner Representatives
QA know that the voice of its learners is central to any successful apprenticeship programme.
Our Student and Learner Voice initiatives are dedicated to ensuring the learner's voice is not only heard but valued and acted upon.
Our Student and Learner representatives attend regular meetings to share their feedback and play an active role in continuous improvement.
The benefits to the learner of becoming a representative:

- Communication skills: Enhance communication skills through regular interactions with learners, QA partners, trainers, and administrators.
- Confidence building: Gain confidence in speaking in front of a group and presenting ideas effectively.
- Networking: Build a network with other learners, professionals, and mentors.
- Problem solving: Improve problem-solving skills by addressing issues and finding solutions collaboratively.
- CV boost: Highlighting their role as a student/learner representative can make their CV stand out.
- Programme improvement: Play a crucial role in continuous improvement of the apprenticeship programme.
