Highfield Assessment currently provides end-point assessment services for the ST0310/IfATE v1.3/AP03 and ST0310/IfATE v1.4 versions of this standard.
- Apprentices who started their apprenticeship on or after 21/04/2024 will be assessed against IfATE v1.4
- Apprentices who started their apprenticeship before 21/04/2024 will be assessed against IfATE v1.3/AP03
Dispensation Information – ST0310/IfATE v1.3/AP03
A temporary dispensation has been applied to the ST0310 version 1.3 end-point assessment plan for this apprenticeship. The dispensation will last from 19 April 2024 to 30 September 2025, but may be withdrawn if the dispensation is no longer necessary.
Highfield will implement the dispensation as required.
They key changes are:
- apprentices cannot opt-out of undertaking the APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ) exam as it is still mandated within version 1.3 of this standard. However, apprentices who are ready for Gateway that have attempted, but not yet passed the PMQ exam are permitted to enter Gateway and proceed to EPA. These apprentices can sit their EPA and pass their apprenticeship without having attained the PMQ.
- training Providers must provide written evidence at Gateway that apprentices have been booked in for their PMQ exam/resit before they move forward with the EPA.
- Highfield cannot withhold the apprenticeship certificate for apprentices who have sat their EPA, undertaken their PMQ exam and not yet passed or not received their PMQ result.
If your organisation is considering beginning the delivery of this EPA, you should follow the requirements as they are detailed in the plan as the dispensation is only intended to support the cohort of apprentices described above.
Full details can be accessed on the IfATE website: Associate Project Manager/Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education.
Please contact Highfield Assessment as soon as possible if you have any learners that this dispensation applies to.
