Standard
On-programme
We provide a clear learning programme to take apprentices from entry through to the gateway for end-point assessment.
This apprenticeship standard is integrated, meaning that the end-point assessment (EPA) component of the apprenticeship is integrated into the qualification. This ensures that the qualification and the apprenticeship award are co-terminus. In the context of the apprenticeship, this means that apprentices cannot achieve the qualification without completing the EPA.
You can use our on-programme offer regardless of whether you are using Pearson as your end-point assessment organisation or not.
Resources
End-point assessment
As an ESFA-approved Assessment Organisation, we provide a full range of assessment services, resources and support from our experienced EPA team to equip you and your learners with the diverse requirements of the apprenticeship standards.
The EPA components are part of the qualification.
A trainee registered on the apprenticeship pathway will not be permitted to change to the non-apprenticeship pathway unless the trainee has attempted the maximum number of retakes as agreed with the learner and employer, and has failed. In this case, only elements that have been passed can be recognised for prior learning in respect of the non-apprenticeship pathway.
You can use Pearson as your end-point assessment organisation, regardless of whether you choose to use our on-programme offer or not.
