All apprenticeships are required to have an end-point assessment that is carried out by an independent body. Apprentices must pass the end-point assessment in order to achieve their apprenticeship and receive their certificate.
The end point assessment for the Associate Project Manager assessment involves two assessment methods: submission of a portfolio of evidence that underpins the professional discussion, and a project report explains in detail how the apprentice has performed during the apprenticeship, followed by a presentation and questioning.
How is this apprenticeship quality assured?
The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) regulates the quality of apprenticeships. The IfATE’s role is also to advise on setting funding caps, and approve apprenticeship standards and assessment plans.
Is this apprenticeship certificated?
Yes – apprentices that successfully complete all parts of the Apprenticeship will receive a full apprenticeship certificate. This will be in addition to any qualifications that are taken as part of the apprenticeship.
