What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a training programme that can be offered as part of an entry-level position, or alongside an employee’s current job role at varying levels of seniority. It is a way for individuals to ‘earn while they learn’, gaining valuable skills and knowledge in a specific job role. The apprentice gains this through a wide mix of learning in the workplace, formal ‘off-the-job’ training and the opportunity to practise new skills in a real work environment.
How is an apprenticeship structured?
Once an apprentice has been accepted onto a programme of study, they will need to meet the ‘knowledge, skills and behaviours’ (KSB’s) within the apprenticeship standard.
Once a learner has fulfilled the outcomes for the apprenticeship, they will move to the ‘Gateway’ stage. This indicates all learning has been completed. During this stage, the apprentice prepares for their ‘End Point Assessment’ (EPA). An EPA is carried out by an external assessor and involves assessments being carried out with the apprentice. The outcome of the assessments determines if the apprentice has achieved their apprenticeship.
What is ‘off-the-job’ training?
All apprentices enrolled on an apprenticeship will be required to spend six hours per week on ‘off the job learning’. This is a mandatory part of the government’s funding rules. ‘Off-the job’ learning will:
- Focus on new learning and gaining competence in the current job role related to the apprenticeship standard
- Take place every calendar month

What are Progress Reviews?
Progress reviews are a mandatory part of the apprenticeship and provide an opportunity for all parties to collaborate, reflect and measure the progress of an apprentice at any given stage in their apprenticeship.
They are pre-booked in advance and must always include the employer (mentor), training provider and apprentice.
All parties will be expected to provide feedback on how the apprentice is performing in the workplace and how they are progressing on their apprenticeship. The apprentice will be expected to showcase what they have learnt since their last progress review and how this has impacted on their workplace.
Progress reviews contribute to the recognition and celebration of achievements, progress and performance of an apprentice. They also highlight any concerns that any party may have around progress or issues in the workplace.
Progress reviews conclude with a set of agreed targets for the apprentice to work towards.
What is the Training Plan?
An apprenticeship training plan is a mandatory requirement of an apprenticeship and contains in-depth details about the apprenticeship programme length and content. It ensures the dedication of all parties to the programme and confirms the eligibility of the learner.
The training plan contains a full rundown of the programme, including content and delivery. It outlines the commitment of the employer and training provider and what the apprentice can expect. The training plan is completed with the employer and training provider in the workplace, prior to commencement of the apprenticeship.
What is Gateway and End Point Assessment?
Gateway – This is the period between an apprentice completing their training and commencing their end-point assessment (EPA).
All parties must agree that the apprentice has completed their training and can enter Gateway. To enter Gateway, the apprentice must have completed and achieved the minimum requirements necessary to undertake the EPA, as set out in their apprenticeship training plan, to show that they have acquired the competencies necessary for their job role.
Once the employer, training provider and apprentice are all in agreement that they are ready to enter Gateway, the required evidence should be submitted. This is submitted, along with the Gateway declaration form from the training provider.
End-Point Assessment – This is the final stage of an apprenticeship. It is an impartial assessment, carried out by an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) of whether the apprentice has developed the skills, knowledge and behaviours outlined in the apprenticeship standard. Apprentices will need to pass all elements of the EPA to achieve their apprenticeship.
What is a break in learning?
An apprentice can request a ‘break in learning’ at any point of their learning journey. This could be used when an apprentice is struggling to meet the demands of the job and study and is at risk of falling behind or withdrawing. It could also be used, for example, for an apprentice going on maternity leave. A break in learning freezes the funding we receive; therefore, no learning can be completed during this stage. The duration of the break is added onto the end of the duration, meaning an apprentice doesn’t lose any of their apprenticeship time.
