How am I going to be assessed?
The Gateway
Once you have completed your apprenticeship training, you will be asked to attend a Gateway meeting. This is a meeting between yourself, the assessor, and your employer to agree that the you have now gained the skills and knowledge to complete the apprenticeship exam/assessment, which is known as the End Point Assessment (EPA). The you will need to have completed your Off The Job Training and if required, passed the Functional Skills Level 1 Maths and Level 1 English.
The gateway meeting is a positive step in the apprenticeship journey. It is a chance for the apprentice to demonstrate their hard work and dedication, and to get closer to completing their apprenticeship successfully.
The Level 2 Hospitality Team Member Exam/End-Point-Assessment is divided into to 4 sections.
-
Business Project
The business project is a written report on an improvement that could be implemented in the workplace. The
improvement does not have to be implemented, but it should demonstrate your ability to look at a situation and
research an idea that would solve a problem or be of benefit to the company.
-
On-demand test (multiple Choice Exam)
The Highfields text and work books will provide you with the knowledge to answer the questions
-
Practical observation
The end-point assessor will observe you during your normal working practices and duties for approximately 2 hours.
-
Professional discussion
You will need to prepare a portfolio of evidence to support the professional discussion and to show your
understanding of the company you work for. This is because the assessor will ask you questions about the company
and your role within it, and it is important that you can provide evidence to back up your answers.
3. How am I going to learn?
Hygiene Sue will create a Google Drive folder for you, containing modules with your coursework and textbooks. The modules will be divided into workbooks and textbooks.
The workbooks will contain activities and exercises that you will need to complete, while the textbooks will provide more in-depth information on the topics covered. At the start of your Apprenticeship, you will be allocated an assessor who will teach and assess you every two weeks, both virtually and on site.
