OVERVIEW
It is essential that anyone wishing to undertake this pathway must be working in the sector. It is possible that learners may come to this pathway without any prior qualifications. However, as the level of this pathway (L3) determines that the apprentice should be working at a level where they may either be working on their own or supervising others, the apprentice should have prior experience of the sector and be employed in a position whereby they will be able to demonstrate the competencies required at this level. CURRICULUM DELIVERY
The delivery of the course is flexible to meet both the learner and employer needs. Your apprentice will meet with their Activate Learning (Bracknell and Wokingham) Assessor on a minimum of a 3 monthly basis to review progress. At these reviews, evidence will be discussed and recorded by all three parties (the apprentice, the assessor and the employer having input). The learners will have a minimum of 4-6 weekly contact with their assessor for the duration of the qualification with the 3 monthly reviews as standard.
It is essential that employers also ensure that apprentices are being mentored whilst in the workplace to ensure a satisfactory level of competence and knowledge is achieved.

20% OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING
Since the introduction of new style apprenticeships in May 2017, it’s been a requirement that every apprentice spends at least 20% of their time on off-the-job training. The required 20% off-the-job training hours will be calculated via the apprentices contracted hours of work, holiday entitlement and length of programme and will be clearly specified in our commitment statement.
This requirement doesn’t have to be a daunting prospect – and doesn’t even mean the apprentice has to be away from their workplace 20% of the time.
END POINT ASSESSMENT
At this moment in time there is no end point assessment for this qualification, however once this is implemented the following will apply.
To achieve this apprenticeship standard, the employer, training provider and apprentice will agree when the apprentice has developed all the knowledge, skills and behaviours defined in the apprenticeship standard and clearly evidenced by the on-programme progression review meetings and records.
The independent end assessment ensures that all apprentices consistently achieve the industry set professional standard and can commence at any point once the apprentice is competent after the twelve-month minimum period of learning and development. Prior to independent end assessment, the functional skills English, ICT and maths components of the apprenticeship must be successfully completed this may include other proof of attainment as required under the new standards.
INDEPENDENT END POINT ASSESSMENT ORGANISATIONS
Approved assessment organisations are registered on the ESFA Register of apprenticeship assessment organisations. Assessment organisations are responsible for ensuring assessments are conducted fairly and that assessments are valid, reliable and consistent. To access the list and find an assessment organisation visit:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/using-the-register-of-apprentice-assessment-organisations.
The employer will approve and appoint the assessment organisation to undertake the independent end assessment of the apprentice.
