Apprentice Journey
Getting prepared for your Apprenticeship Assessment
Step-by-step guide
On Programme
Apprentices take on a programme of training to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours that are set out in the apprenticeship standard and required to pass the apprenticeship assessment. Apprentices have to achieve qualifications specified in the apprenticeship standard as well as English and maths.
Gateway to Completion
Before an apprentice can take an Apprenticeship Assessment, the employer (after discussion with their apprentice and training provider) ‘signs off’ their apprentice as ready for assessment. This decision process is known as the ‘gateway’ to Apprenticeship Assessment.
An Independent assessor will be allocated, ensuring there are no conflicts of interest. At gateway, there will be a meeting between the employer, apprentice and assessor, where all aspects of Apprenticeship Assessment will be agreed.
Apprenticeship Assessment
