Final assessment by an external examiner, comprising a resourcing project assignment and a professional discussion to complete the qualification
To achieve the qualification, which can be awarded as Pass, Distinction, or Fail, apprentices will be assessed continuously throughout their programme and through a final assessment.
The assessment will only commence once the employer confirms that the apprentice is consistently performing at or above the standard required by the occupational criteria.
The Apprenticeship Assessment process typically lasts up to three months and consists of two components:
Observation with Questioning An assessor will observe the apprentice performing their regular work tasks and ask questions to assess their understanding of the processes and actions taken.
Professional Discussion Underpinned by Portfolio of Evidence Throughout the apprenticeship, the apprentice compiles a portfolio of evidence. This portfolio supports a professional discussion (interview) with the assessor, providing an opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills gained during the programme.
The combined results from these two components determine the final apprenticeship grade.
