employers play an active part in the development and assessment of the

apprentices progress, assisting them achieve their full skills and employability

potential.

apprentices progress, as well as to manage the programme and provide auditable

records for the programme funders. A range of forms are used for this purpose and

all can be accessed on this website. The website provides a central document

management system for the scheme and includes the ability to digitally record thesigning of audit documents required by the Welsh Government and Europe.

Notes:

1. The Register button is retained, as this will allow new users to gain access to the site.

However, it will be an online registration form that will be submitted to the site

administrator who will decide on the level of access and assign a role to the user. This will

include a visitor role which has no editing rights and only access to publicly viewable pages,

and also will include a reject option for inappropriate access requests.

2. This is a very basic welcome page with no graphics. It may be appropriate for an

administrative restricted site that has no marketing purpose.

Skills Academy Wales Website Help Pages

Currently there are Pop-up windows when the Help Tabs on each of the pages are selected:

It is proposed that all the help pages be amalgamated in a centralised help reference structure with

its own menu navigation covering all the website functional options. This is a fairly common Help

provision approach for websites and users are likely to be familiar with it.

Opening the Help screen in a different window is a good idea as it leaves users in the same place on

the website when theyve finished. The Help tab for each page can be linked directly to the issues

related to that page. A managed FAQ option is also recommended.
