Gateway requirements
Before the apprentice can enter the EPA Gateway process, the following evidence is required:
- EPA Gateway Meeting Record
- Achievement of Level 2 English and Maths
- Completed portfolio of evidence
- Reasonable Adjustments/Special Consideration Request Form where relevant
If the apprentice is aged 16-18 years, they must have achieved English and Maths qualifications to at least Level 2. If the apprentice is aged 19+ when they begin their apprenticeship, the requirement for the attainment of these qualifications is optional (effective from 11th February 2025). Employers may choose whether these qualifications are necessary, and further details regarding funding can be found in the latest funding rules.
Assessment methods
The assessment methods for the Team Leader apprenticeship consist of the following:
- Assessment method 1: Presentation with questions and answers
- A presentation followed by questions and answers will take place between the IEPA and the apprentice. The presentation will typically last for 20 minutes and the questioning will typically last for 30 minutes in order to provide scope for the apprentice to demonstrate their full competence.
- Assessment method 2: Professional discussion underpinned by a portfolio of evidence
- The professional discussion is a two-way conversation between the apprentice and an IEPA. The portfolio of evidence is not directly assessed. It underpins the professional discussion assessment method and therefore will not be assessed by Gateway Qualifications.
See the specification document for full details.
