The learner journey

1. 15 months on-programme – This is when you will gain the skills, knowledge and behaviours which will then support you in the End-Point Assessment. Your apprenticeship will include either remote or classroom-based sessions each month, along with assessments and wider learning that could include workplace training, e-learning, research, and completion of assignments. You will build a portfolio of evidence of your knowledge, skills, and behaviours before completing a work-based project.

From 1 August 2025, apprentices must complete at least 187 hours of off-the-job (OTJ) training over a minimum of 8 months, with some standards requiring more for those without prior learning. Learn more about OTJ training hours.

2. Gateway – After 15 months teaching and learning, the employer, training provider and the learner will review the learner journey and decide whether it is the right time for the end point assessment to be arranged.

3. End-Point Assessment – This is when you will need to demonstrate you have learnt the required knowledge, and behaviours, through a remote end point assessment interview and submission of your work-based project. The project makes up 80% of the grade and the interview makes up 20%. You will also be required to deliver a 10-minute presentation during your end point assessment interview.
