Part B
Terms applying if you enrol for a SR Apprenticeships course
Please read these Terms carefully before enrolling on a course.
For the purposes of these Terms:
Enrolment
We will help you to choose the correct course. We will assess your skills and knowledge and provide advice and information before you start learning to make sure you choose the right course. We will provide you with the online course materials for the course and access to our Virtual Learning Environment and its tools and resources for learners.
If you are eligible for funding to pay for the course, you must provide us with relevant evidence and we will obtain that funding for your learning. You must follow the terms and conditions of the course.
When you have accepted the Learning Agreement, we will provide you with a Tutor Assessor. Your tutor will provide support and guidance to you during your course.
By accessing your course you will be deemed to have accepted these Terms and the terms and conditions of the Learning Agreement.
Your course
Your course is a mixture of online software, tools and information on the Virtual Learning Environment, and tutor support from us. The contents of the course are listed in the Learning Agreement. The course is designed to help you to achieve the qualification you have chosen with support from us.
Whether you pay a fee or not, you are not ‘buying’ the course. You are being licensed to ‘use’ the course while you are on the course. You cannot ‘keep’ the course for ever. You cannot give or sell the course to anyone else. The course always remains the property of SR Apprenticeships.
Assessment
Assessment is an important part of your course. It is the only way to get the qualification that you want when you have finished your learning. It may be the online test for Maths and English, or the e-portfolio if you are doing a vocational qualification.
Your SR Apprenticeships Tutor Assessor will help you prepare and submit your e-portfolio. This is part of the support SR Apprenticeships will provide for this course and there is no extra charge.
Quality of the services
We will use reasonable skill and care in providing the services to you. We will do so according to the qualification content set out in the agreement. We do not make any commitment to you that the content of the services will meet any specific requirements that you have (except to the extent that your requirements match the course description which is given in more detail on the Website). We expect you to take reasonable care to make sure that the course you have chosen will meet your needs.
We do not make any commitment to you that you will obtain any particular result from your receipt of the services. We do not make any commitment to you that you will obtain any particular qualification from your receipt of the services (unless stated otherwise in the course description on the Website subject to your successful achievement of that qualification).
All representations, warranties and/or terms and/or commitments not expressly set out in these Terms and the terms and conditions in the Learning Agreement (whether implied by law, conduct, and statute or otherwise) are hereby excluded to the maximum extent permissible at law.
Password and Learner Reference Number
When you registered for SR Apprenticeships you were given a user name and password. You must take care to keep your user name and password confidential. You will be responsible for all activities that occur under your user name and password. You must not allow anyone else to use your username and password. You must tell us immediately of any unauthorised use of your user name or password or if you believe that your user name or password are no longer confidential. We reserve the right to require you to alter your username and password if we believe that they are no longer secure. We will never email you or ask you on the phone for your password. If anyone asks you for your password you must tell your Tutor Assessor. We will provide you with access to your course once you have enrolled. You will need to log on using your user name and password to use the course. When you first enrol for a SR Apprenticeships course you will also be issued with a learner reference number. We may use this number in correspondence with you.
Apprenticeship funding from the Education and Skills Funding Agency
You may be eligible to have part or the whole cost of the course paid for you by the ESFA or via your Company’s Apprenticeship Levy. If so, you must provide us with the evidence we request.
Provision of the Services
Help: You will find help with your learning in several ways. There are videos, ‘how to’ guides and frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the Virtual Learning Environment. You can email your Tutor Assessor, and you can call Learner Services by phone – 0194920976.
Tutor Support: When you enrol on your course we will assign a Tutor Assessor to support you through the course. Your tutor will contact you regularly to discuss your progress. You must keep in touch with your tutor at least every 3 weeks if you are going to continue on the course. Your tutor will help you with any questions about your course. This includes how to use the course online, specialist advice about things you are learning in your course, or any other aspect of learning with SR Apprenticeships. Your tutor will not be the same person every time you contact us, or we contact you. The tutor you speak to will know what course you are doing and how you have progressed so far. You may contact your tutor during the normal opening hours of 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday.
Computer compatibility: You can log onto the Virtual Learning Environment from any computer using your assigned user name and password. Not all computers have all the software needed to use every course SR Apprenticeships provides. We do not make any commitment that the course software will be compatible with or operate with the software or hardware on your computer. If your computer does not have the necessary software installed our advisor will help you to download the software (at your cost and risk) that should allow you to use the course. If it cannot, we will help you to choose another suitable course, or refund any course fee you have paid. If we recommend that you either enable cookies or download certain publicly accessible software to ensure that your computer is capable of accessing the course, you do so at your own risk. There is a ‘How to’ guide called ‘Setting up my Computer for Learning’ on the website. We use cookies to check the compatibility of your system with some of our services. If you wish to know more about cookies please see the section on cookies in the Cookie usage section.
Technical Support: We provide technical support to learners to help them to use our courses. We cannot provide technical help that is not about using your VLE. Please contact an advisor for technical help using the SR Apprenticeships courses. There is a FAQ and a ‘How to’ guide and a contact form on the VLE. We will use reasonable skill and care in providing any technical support and to ensure that this service is available to you. SR Apprenticeships cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability of technical support. We do not guarantee that the technical advice provided by us will resolve your technical problems. If you decide to take advantage of such technical advice you must strictly follow that advice.
System downtime: We may need periods of downtime to maintain the SR Apprenticeships Website and/or VLE. Technical support may not be available during such periods of downtime. SR Apprenticeships tries to ensure that the Website is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
