Initial Assessment:

An initial assessment of each apprentice should be made before the start of their apprenticeship programme, to identify:

• If the apprentice has any specific training needs – what is their current baseline?
  
• What support and guidance they may need when working towards their qualifications.
  
• Any units they have already completed, or credits/experience they have accumulated which is relevant to the qualification/vocational area.
  
• The appropriate type and level of qualification
  
• The length of stay that the individual will need on programme
  
• The additional knowledge, skills and behaviours that are needed to help them improve as an individual outside of the qualification.

The initial assessment for this qualification requires apprentices to complete a knowledge-based test and some behavioural examples. The induction can be used to ensure that the most suitable apprentice is selected for your organisation.
