Before a candidate is offered a place on programme, both the candidate and the employer will be assessed to make sure they’re suitable to undertake the Apprenticeship. The Apprentice will need to meet academic entry requirements and the employer must be able to offer the apprentice the range of work required to enable the candidate to gather sufficient evidence throughout the course. Once they have been accepted on to the programme all apprentices will be required to attend a Lincoln College Induction. Apprentices will require access to a tablet/computer to access their e-portfolio and resources.

Assessment during the course will be determined through written assignments to achieve HNC criteria, a Summary of Experience and a work-based portfolio to meet the Apprenticeship Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours outlined by IFATE. They will also be required to complete an "Off the Job Training Log” (learning log) which they will document on their e-portfolio to show progression throughout the course.

The Apprentice will receive 1-1 coaching from a dedicated, professional Assessor/Instructor allocated to the learner for the duration of the programme. The Assessor will complete a Formal Review of Progress every 10-12 weeks, in which the Apprentice, Employer and Assessor will all provide feedback on the Apprentice's progress. The Apprentice will also be expected to complete job shadowing and mentoring at work through Employer-lead training.

 
During this Apprenticeship the Apprentice should achieve a Level 4 qualification in Construction and Built Environment that meets the knowledge requirements of the standard and is approved by the industry’s recognised professional bodies, meeting the educational requirements for Technician status or the equivalent level of membership. This should allow the Apprentice, upon completion of their Apprenticeship to progress to Level 5 (Higher National Diploma) or Degree level course.

The Apprentice will be required to complete an End Point Assessment, upon completing all mandatory aspects of their Apprenticeship and with the agreement from the Employer, Assessor and Learner that they are ready for gateway. This Apprenticeship Standard has 3 EPA components these are; a multiple-choice knowledge test, a work-based project and a professional discussion. These will all be assessed by the designated End Point Assessment Organisation. The EPA period is 6 months long and all 3 components should be sat during this time.

Stationery supporting study is required. A laptop or PC will aid research and completion of assignments.
