Our End-point Assessment service

As an SFA-approved Assessment Organisation we provide a full range of assessment services to support the diverse requirements of the apprenticeships standards.

Presentation

Each apprentice will be asked to prepare a VIVA presentation. The subject of the presentation can be selected by the apprentice but the content must reflect practitioner level understanding in that area. Typically this presentation will be based upon work competed and captured in the apprentice’s portfolio of evidence.

The following to be included if relevant
The VIVA presentation is expected to be 20 to 30 minutes long followed by up to 30 minutes of questioning from the assessment panel.

Assessment will be made on quality, clarity and the demonstration of using systems engineering principles, processes and methods and a systems approach in the workplace.

The purpose of the presentation is to:

Convince and give confidence to the panel that all necessary competencies have been obtained (by demonstrating and talking about a sample selection),
Probe the knowledge of the apprentice in a particular area,
Probe the apprentice’s general systems engineering understanding and application.

Interview

The interview is a structured discussion between the apprentice and the assessment panel. It will focus on the portfolio of evidence the apprentice has submitted and the content of the VIVA presentation. It will cover what the apprentice has done (and the competencies gained) and how they have approached what they have done.

The following to be included if relevant
This enables this assessment to cover a broad range of knowledge, skills and behaviours prescribed in the standard, particularly the apprentice’s domain understanding and specialist skills and understanding.

The purpose of the interview is to:

Clarify any questions the panel has around the evidence portfolio.
Confirm and validate the judgements about the quality of the work complete.
Confirm that the portfolio of evidence is the apprentices own work.
Confirm the apprentice understands what has been written and can defend it verbally.
Explore particular areas of the work, including how it was carried out and what was done in more detail.
Provide a basis for each assessor to make a holistic decision about the grade to be awarded.
