End-point assessment
The EPA for Team Leader or Supervisor contains two methods of assessment:
Professional Discussion underpinned by a Portfolio
of Evidence
The Portfolio of Evidence will be completed during the on-programme learning and submitted at Gateway. The apprentice must have access to their Portfolio of Evidence during the Professional Discussion where the Independent End-Point Assessor (IEPA) will ask at least five questions. The apprentice can refer to and illustrate their answers with evidence from their Portfolio of Evidence however, the Portfolio of Evidence is not
directly assessed.
The Professional Discussion is graded fail, pass or distinction.
Presentation with Questions
Post Gateway, NCFE will provide the apprentice with a presentation topic which allows the apprentice the opportunity to draw on what they have learnt and experienced during their apprenticeship. The apprentice must submit any presentation materials to the NCFE by the end of week 4 of the EPA period.
The Presentation with Questions must last 50 minutes. This will typically include a presentation of 20 minutes and questioning lasting 30 minutes. The IEPA must ask at least five questions.
The Presentation and Questions is graded fail, pass or distinction.
