It is important to keep a good record of time spent working “off the job” in learning and other work-based activities. This is done through the Activity Log tab on PebblePad. Off the job learning encompasses a range of things, including completing reading or writing tasks for a module, attending a campus session and undertaking work related to projects, etc. Templates in PebblePad allow you to document each activity, the time spent on each activity and to support this with any necessary evidence.

Tutors and the Apprenticeship Coordinator will review this periodically to ensure learners are on track to demonstrate the 20% off the job time required of the apprenticeship funding. Line managers will also have access to PebblePad to sign off work-based activity.

The Commitment Statement signed off by the learner/ line manager/programme director at the start of the apprenticeship will contain the total number of hours that need to be recorded in your Activity Log, along with an indication of the number of hours that are satisfied by teaching activities.

Please watch the following walkthrough video of how to use your Activity Log. The portfolio may look slightly different to yours but the process of using them is exactly the same.
