How are Makers programmes delivered?

Makers programmes are designed to combine structured learning with practical experience in the workplace.

Learners remain in their role while completing the programme and develop new skills through a combination of instructor-led learning, project work and coaching.

Programmes are delivered in a way that allows learners to apply new skills directly in their day-to-day work.

Structured learning and practical application

Training is delivered through a mix of learning formats designed to build both knowledge and practical capability.

This can include:

• Instructor-led learning sessions

• Hands-on technical labs and exercises

• Real-world project work

• Group discussions and peer learning

This approach helps learners build confidence while developing skills that are relevant to their role.

Learning alongside work

Programmes are structured so employees can continue contributing to their teams while developing new capabilities.

Learning sessions are spaced throughout the programme, allowing learners to practise new skills and apply them within their organisation.

Coaching and progress reviews

Learners receive support from experienced Makers coaches throughout the programme.

Regular progress reviews help ensure learners are developing the skills required by the apprenticeship and that the programme continues to align with the organisation’s goals.
