Apprenticeship standard and assessment information
Please familiarise yourself with the apprenticeship standard and assessment plan for your programme. The standard lists the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) which are developed on the apprenticeship and the assessment plan contains specific information about the EPA process and apprenticeship assessment.
Work-based projects
All apprentices undertake a synoptic work-based project towards the end of their apprenticeship which forms a crucial part of the end-point assessment process. In addition, there may be other smaller projects which apprentices are required to complete throughout their apprenticeship.
The synoptic project is a significant live project, managed in the workplace by the apprentice across a substantial period of time (usually around 6 months). It should be aligned to organisational need and demonstrate strategic impact and return on investment.
Details of our approach to work-based projects and guidance can be found in our guide.
End-point assessment (EPA) guidance
The EPA is an integral component of the course. The degree will be achieved upon successful completion of this assessment.
The EPA is designed in collaboration with employers and applies to all organisations delivering this apprenticeship.
Find out more about what your apprentices will be expected to do as part of the EPA on the Institute for Apprenticeships website.
