All apprenticeships are required to have an end-point assessment that is carried out by an independent body. Apprentices must pass the end-point assessment in order to achieve their apprenticeship and receive their certificate.
Assessment method 1: Knowledge Test - a multi-choice test to last a maximum of 60 minutes which includes 50 equally weighted multi-choice questions with four possible answers. The Knowledge test typically needs to be passed before the apprentice progresses to the Portfolio-based Interview and Project Presentation.
Assessment method 2: Portfolio-based Interview - The apprentice is required to prepare a portfolio of evidence during the on-programme phase of their apprenticeship, which showcases their best work. The interview which lasts 30-45 minutes, assesses understanding and learning shown in the Portfolio; the Portfolio is not directly assessed.
Assessment method 3: Project Presentation - The apprentice is required to prepare and deliver a presentation (followed by questions and answers) on a project they have completed or a process they have improved. The project is submitted to the EPAO who provides a question to answer in the presentation. This assessment method will typically last 30 minutes (the presentation lasts 10-15 minutes, with a further 10-15 minutes for a Q&A session).
The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) regulates the quality of apprenticeships. The IfATE’s role is also to advise on setting funding caps, and approve apprenticeship standards and assessment plans.
