Temporary Dispensation - ST0228/v1.3/AP04
Skills England state:
A temporary dispensation has been applied to the assessment plan for this apprenticeship. The dispensation will last until all apprentices on the current version have completed.
End-point assessment organisations (EPAOs) delivering EPAs for the apprenticeship will implement the dispensation as required, supported and monitored by the relevant EQA provider.
