Deliver of Knowledge is via online distance learning

If they have not already achieved GCSE’s in English and Maths, then these will need to be taken before the End Point Assessment (EPA)

End Point Assessment

The final end point assessment is completed in the last few months of the IT Solutions Technician apprenticeship. It is based on a portfolio produced towards the end of the apprenticeship. Furthermore, containing evidence from real work projects which have been completed during the apprenticeship, usually towards the end, and which, taken together, cover the totality of the standard, and which is assessed as part of the end point assessment:

  • Firstly, a Knowledge Test – Four online tests against the knowledge statements.
  • Secondly, a project – giving the apprentice the opportunity to undertake a business-related project over a one-week period away from the day to day workplace
  • Lastly, a structured interview with an assessor – exploring what has been produced in the portfolio and the project as well as looking at how it has been produced.

 

An independent assessor will assess each element of the end point assessment and will then decide whether to award successful apprentices with a pass, a merit or a distinction.
