Welcome to M&E Excellence!
Founded in 2018, M&E Excellence has the sole purpose of supporting the National drive towards decreasing the barriers and deterrents often seen by individuals choosing the Apprenticeship route.
The idea of completing Functional Skills Maths and English alongside an Apprenticeship and full time employment can be one of the major deterrents for applicants and providers of apprenticeships.
M&E strives to be the solution to reducing this deterrent through offering apprentices and providers a diverse selection of completion pathways for Maths and English, all of which fully recognise existing skill sets, prior attainment and individual circumstances.
Working in partnership with UK wide Apprenticeship providers, including NHS, Training and Business Organisations, M&E maintain the ethos of ‘one size never fits all’ and encourages providers to introduce the Maths and English component as part of the apprenticeship, as it is then that each candidate is in a learning mindset.
As an Organisation focusing on a niche area of Apprenticeships, barriers to CPD and often deterrents for many considering the Apprenticeship route, M&E Excellence adopts a primary focus of overcoming the common barriers and strives to ensure the Functional Skills component is fully achievable alongside existing commitments and workloads

Partner NHS Trust, HE/FE Apprenticeship Provider or Employer having an initial discussion with a M&E Excellence Account Manager to ensure bespoke provision can be created if needed and to meet the needs of each partner Organisation
Employers / staff complete the M&E Excellence learner data record to inform the provider of all core details. Staff looking to complete their courses also will complete a learner questionnaire.
Upon completion of the questionnaire, each learner receives an online induction for a course overview and to discuss agreed course start dates and tutorial time slots which best align with existing shift patterns.
One of a few qualification completion pathways will be offered to each learner based on their existing skill set and individual needs. The learner is then free to start their qualification!
