Dispensation Information - ST0385/IfATE v1.2/AP04
A temporary dispensation has been applied to the ST0385 version 1.2 end-point assessment plan for this apprenticeship. The dispensation will remain live until redundant apprentices identified in the dispensation request have completed their EPA, including and resits and retakes, when it will then be withdrawn.
Please note that this dispensation applies to agreed cohorts only.
The key changes are:
- the training provider will step in as the employer for the duration of the EPA period in order to ensure that apprentices that have been made redundant can conduct their project-based evidence to complete their project proposal and complete their apprenticeship.
- skills 1.2, 2.1, 2.2 and 3.1 will be assessed via the questioning component of the assessment.
Full details can be accessed on the IfATE website: Operations or departmental 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.
