  • Looking at progress made to date 

Ongoing professional development

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:

  • Mentoring sessions with the nominated employer mentor
  • Training in the workplace, relevant to the standard
  • Producing/collating evidence for the apprentice’s summative
  • portfolio
  • Work shadowing
  • Industry visits
  • Attendance at competitions
  • Online learning
  • Studying or researching

Gateway to EPA

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.
