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. It is a significant live project, managed in the workplace by the apprentice across a substantial period (usually around four months). It should be aligned with organisational needs and demonstrate strategic impact and return on investment.  

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. 

View the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) end-point assessment plan.

Apprenticeship Standard and assessment information  

The development of our apprentices across the duration of the course is underpinned by the apprenticeship standard. The standard will be used regularly during reviews, as a point of reference, and we recommend that you familiarise yourself with its contents.

Apprentices are expected to gather work-based evidence of their development of application of knowledge, skills and behaviours.
