End Point Assessment
Overview of assessment
The end point assessment covers all of the skills, knowledge and behaviours in the Standard. It will take place using independent assessors appointed by QFI and the methods shown below:
Work-based project report and presentation with questions and answers
This method has 2 components.
Component 1: Work-based project. The work-based project report (4,500 words+/-10%) is designed to ensure that the apprentice’s work meets the needs of the business and is relevant to their role. A project proposal must be agreed at gateway stage submitted to QFI within 12 weeks.
Component 2: Presentation with questions and answer Apprentices will prepare and deliver a presentation based on their work-based project report. The presentation with questions and answers will take place on a one-to-one basis between the assessor and the apprentice and allows the project to be explored in more depth. The presentation will typically last for 20 minutes and the questions and answers a further 20 minutes.
Professional Discussion(underpinned by a portfolio of evidence)
This takes the form of a one-to-one conversation between an assessor and the apprentice in which the assessor will ask a minimum of 12 open questions that will focus on coverage of prior learning or activity and problem solving. The apprentice will be encouraged to refer to their portfolio of evidence during the professional discussion to support their responses. Video conferencing maybe used to conduct the professional discussion, which will take place over 60 minutes.
Readiness for assessment
The employer will endorse progression to the end-point when satisfied that the apprentice is consistently working at or above the level set out in the standard, and the pre-requisite gateway requirements have been met with evidence to support these:
