Level 3 Recruiter
Understand the process you will undertake as a level 3 recruiter
What is an End-Point Assessment
An End-Point Assessment is the final stage of an apprenticeship programme.
The assessment gives apprentices the opportunity to demonstrate the required knowledge, skills, and behaviours as outlined in their apprenticeship standard.
The assessment is conducted by an Assessor independent of the Apprentice’s Employer and Apprenticeship Provider and is a formal way to validate an Apprentice's competence and achievement.
Affordability of the End-point Assessment will be aided by using at least some of the following:
- Utilising digital remote platforms to conduct applicable assessment methods
- Using the employer’s premises conducting assessment methods on the same day /an agreed day with the learner

Some Intro text for what this is please.
There are two assessment methods for the Level 3 Recruiter Apprenticeship:
- Assessment method 1 - Presentation with questions: Fail, pass, distinction.
- Assessment method 2 - Professional discussion underpinned by a portfolio of evidence: Fail, pass, distinction.
The result from each assessment method is combined to decide the overall apprenticeship grade.
The grades available for the apprenticeship are: Fail, Pass, Distinction.
The assessment methods can be delivered in any order, but it is recommended that the presentation is done first,followed by the Q&A and then the professional discussion.
The result of one assessment method does not need to be known before starting the next
The programme can typically run for 12- 18 months, and the apprentice must:
- Complete training to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs) outlined in the apprenticeship standard .
- Complete training towards English and Mathematics level 2 qualifications, where appropriate and in line with the apprenticeship funding rules.
- Complete 20% off the job training requirements. (i.e. if the apprentice works 30 hours a week, a minimum of 6 hours a week should be on off the job training).
- Compile a portfolio of evidence (Typically 15 pieces of evidence).
Once the Apprenticeship Provider, Employer and Apprentice have confirmed that the Apprentice has reached Gateway, a Gateway readiness declaration form will be submitted to the EPAO along with any required evidence and declarations.
The apprentice must:
- Confirm they are ready to take the EPA.
- Have achieved English and Mathematics qualifications at level 2, where appropriate and in line with the apprenticeship funding rules.
Following acceptance of Gateway, the Independent End-Point Assessor (IEPA)will then contact the Apprentice, Employer and Provider to set up an introductory meeting.
During the meeting the date of the EPA will be agreed and the presentation title issued.
Presentation with questions:
The apprentice will produce and deliver a presentation which will be followed by questions.
The presentation will last at least 50 minutes (20 minutes to present and 30 minutes of questions).
Professional Discussion
For the professional discussion, the apprentice must submit a portfolio of evidence.
It is suggested that the portfolio comprises a collection of around 15 pieces of evidence.
The Professional Discussion will last approximately 60 minutes, and you can have your portfolio with you.
Results
Results will be issued by the EPAO within 12 weeks of the final assessment.
