Employer Hub

Mindful Education offers an award-winning virtual learning environment which gives learners the flexibility to study on their own terms across a range of professional qualifications, including management, accounting, law, business and human resources. 

Flexible courses and apprenticeships

Our professional apprenticeships and part-time courses provide the ultimate flexibility for both employers and learners.

On-demand access to our virtual learning environment means that apprentices can perfectly sync their studies with their work schedule. They also benefit from regular classes, either in-person or virtual, with an expert tutor from our network, who supports them to excel within their studies.

Support for line managers

Our hybrid study method has been crafted to enhance workforce productivity from the very first day of an apprenticeship.

Line managers are given the essential knowledge and tools to mentor an apprentice effectively, as well as guidance and training on how to get the most out of the virtual learning environment, and its learner tracking analytics. We provide ongoing support to employers to assist them with meeting off-the-job training requirements. This support includes clear and concise guidance on what constitutes off-the-job training,  understanding how it is tracked and how it can be incorporated into your business strategy.

The need for flexibility

Apprenticeships that sync with your organisation’s working patterns are one of the most effective ways to train your workforce. That’s why we created our flexible, award-winning courses and apprenticeships, perfectly packaged in a blended learning format, so learners can choose how, when and where they want to study.

Learner resources

Learners have access to award-winning resources throughout their programme. Lesson materials can be accessed at any time, enabling learners to fit study alongside their day-to-day tasks and projects. Learning materials can be downloaded so that learners can use them to check key points before completing work tasks.

Progress tracking and analytics

Our virtual learning environment enables employers and tutors to track learner progress in detail, ensuring that all learners are on track to achieve their qualification. Learners receive alerts if they fall behind, and any significant concerns are promptly escalated to the tutor and line manager. The Mindful Education academic team works closely with our training providers to ensure that all learners are progressing as expected.

Tutor support

Learners are allocated a dedicated tutor, so they always have someone to go to if they need clarification or direction in their learning and off-the-job training. 

Tutors and assessors review learner progress and create tailored workshop agendas, focusing on the areas where learners need support the most. Group exercises and peer-to-peer discussion encourages learners to apply theory to real-life workplace situations.

“When I first looked at a package, I wanted an online platform that would enable our apprentices to be able to pick up and put down their work as they wanted. The apprentices have found the Mindful Education platform to be very flexible and the variety of information is really helpful.”
