This policy outlines expectations for learner and punctuality to ensure effective learning and progression.
Applies to all learners enrolled on courses delivered by Inspira.
Learners are expected to attend all scheduled sessions.
If a learner misses more than two sessions without notice, their place on the course may be reviewed.
In general 90% attendance is required to meet course completion criteria, unless prior arrangements are agreed. However, some of our courses have much more specific and rigid attendance requirements, particularity those courses with practical elements. Course specific attendance requirements will be communicated to learners at induction and re-iterated on day one of learning.
While we have high expectations of attendance, in-line with workplace expectations, we will endeavour to take a supportive approach with learners where needed.
Learners must inform the tutor or your Inspira Adviser before the session if they are unable to attend, stating the reason.
Absences due to illness, caring responsibilities, or emergencies should be reported by phone, email, or text.
