There are no exams in the Level 3 Content Creator apprenticeship programme, instead, you are assessed on a portfolio of evidence that you will produce over the duration of your apprenticeship. Following the first 12 months of the apprenticeship, apprentices will then enter the EPA phase where they undergo two further assessment component methods, you can read more on that here.
Content Creator Level 3 (awarded by the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education)
These take place monthly, either at the workplace or live online with the tutor.
In addition to tutor 1:1s, all apprentices and employers must also partake in a monthly Professional Development Review (PDR):
Apprentices will be guided by a NowSkills tutor and their workplace mentor throughout the duration of the Content Creator apprenticeship. For a level 3 apprentice, this must equate to 20% off-the-job training of the working week they aren’t attending training in the center, and will likely consist of:
This is the period in which the apprentice crosses the threshold phase, from learning and formative assessments to the end-point assessment period. This decision will be made by the employer, training provider, and apprentice based on the apprentice’s progress. To move onto the end-point assessment phase, it is essential to have passed all the knowledge modules and be able to provide a portfolio of evidence.
During the EPA phase, apprentices will have 4 weeks to produce an evaluative report which is based on a project they have had significant involvement within the 6 months prior. As part of this apprenticeship curriculum apprentices will also produce a presentation to submit at the same time that builds upon the evaluative report. Two weeks later they will present this to an external assessor in a professional discussion who will then ask a series of questions, this full process’s typical duration lasts 30 minutes.
