How is it assessed?
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.
As of the 25th June 2020, apprentices starting their apprenticeship will be assessed under Assessment Plan v1.1, with a Professional Discussion underpinned by a portfolio of evidence (collated during their work/study time), and a Presentation with questions and answers based on a topic set by the EPAO.
Apprentices who started their apprenticeship prior to the 25th June 2020 will be assessed under Assessment Plan v 1.0, which involves a review of the apprentice’s portfolio of evidence which is collated during their work/ study time; an externally set knowledge test; and an interview/ competency-based discussion relating to the apprentice’s Continual Professional Development Log.
How is the apprenticeship quality assured?
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.
Is this apprenticeship certificated?
Yes – apprentices that successfully complete all parts of the Apprenticeship will receive a full apprenticeship certificate. This will be in addition to any qualifications that are taken as part of the apprenticeship.
