Additional information

Employers must satisfy themselves that apprentices are ready for their endpoint assessment. Apprentices must demonstrate that they meet the following criteria: Achieved a minimum level 2 English and maths. Satisfactory completion of the formal training plan agreed with the apprentice by the employer. Sufficient evidence in the form of a portfolio to allow the apprentice to consistently demonstrate knowledge, skills and behaviours as described in the standard. Although the apprentice should only be recommended for end-point assessment when they are ready, employers should have a remediation process in place to support any apprentice who fails to meet the conditions of the endpoint assessment. The endpoint assessment may be completed over a six month period to accommodate work scheduling and cost-effective planning of resources. Successful achievement of the end-point assessment will lead to final certification of the apprenticeship and demonstrate that the apprentice is a fully competent Technician. It uses the following assessment tools and should be undertaken in this order: • Knowledge assessment (weighting 20%). • A final observation of practical work (weighting 40%) • A technical interview, based upon an evidence portfolio which will include all evidence of practical observations, progress reviews and work activities (weighting 40%)
