We must ensure that an apprentice spends the required minimum of contracted working hours developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours illustrated on the Standard. This is achieved via a flexible approach and also by using learning that occurs as part of the job role within the workplace:

• Regular assessor visits at workplace (Monthly)
• Reviews in the workplace with Line Manager
• College workshop sessions with lecturer weekly.

End-Point Assessment is the final test for apprentices during their apprenticeship. It is designed to be an objective and impartial assessment of an apprentice’s knowledge, skills and behaviours.  At the end of an apprenticeship, the apprentice will go through a ‘gateway’ process where they are signed-off by their employer as ready for a final assessment of their knowledge and practical capabilities. The assessment will be conducted and graded by an independent End Point Assessment Organisation.

NOCN are the end point assessment organisation and the test will consist of:

• An end-point on line test- will consist of 20 questions over a period of 40 minutes.
• An end-point project – The project will be presented as a 2500 word (with a 10% tolerance either way) written report.
• An end point professional discussion – The professional discussion must last for 60 minutes.

The entry requirement for this apprenticeship will be decided by each employer.
