This apprenticeship standard is split into three main components: the first, where one of our tutors will come out to your workplace and observe and assess the skills you have gained whilst working and help you work through the L3 Diploma qualification; the second part contains all the theory behind why you do the things you do in the workplace and get your ready for the End Point Assessment and finally the Maths, English and ICT support, if they are required and depending upon your situation you may not need to do this part.
