Alternative Retail provision:
The following new Apprenticeship Standards in England replace SASE Apprenticeship Framework provision:
- Retailer Level 2
- Retail Team Leader Level 3
- Retail Manager Level 4
- Retail Leadership Degree Apprenticeship Level 6
Pearson are an approved end point assessment organisation for Retailer Level 2 and Retail Team Leader Level 3.
The Pearson BTEC Level 2 Certificate for Retailers (603/3840/4) is for learners working, or intending to work, in a customer-facing retail job role where they assist customers in purchasing products and services. It is designed to support the off-the-job training and development of apprentices on the Retailer Level 2 Apprenticeship programme. It is also for those individuals not on an apprenticeship programme but who wish to achieve a qualification to prepare for employment.
