- completing set tasks in your vocational area
- weekly workshops and group discussions

What does this course cover?
There are five units to this qualification. The first two are mandatory units and the last three are additional units.

How is my work assessed?
In the Student Pool on the College intranet, is an e2e folder. Within that folder you will find an Employability folder, which contains tracking sheets for each unit. Every worksheet we produce will be tailored in such a way, that it matches the assessment criteria required for each unit. We will be marking your achievements against the City & Guilds assessment criteria on each unit tracking sheet.
As tutors, we will also track your work on a spread sheet. We will know what you have completed and what is missing. It is your responsibility to ensure to keep up-to-date with all work set. You are also responsible for looking after your portfolio of evidence.
What if I do not want to take part in an activity or workshop?
During the two-week induction period you were assessed for your readiness for e2e training. We have a set of standards we expect you to follow. We will not allow individuals to disrupt those learners who want to gain a qualification and move on in their lives.
However, the e2e programme is specifically designed for those who have had a previous bad learning experience. Whatever the reason, remember we are here to help you overcome your barriers to learning. We have a team of experts here at Croydon College who we can refer you to, whether it be for help from a dyslexia specialist or a counsellor for anger management. Maybe you just need a listening ear and advice on handling relationships with other, but whatever the reason please talk before you walk.
