How You Will Be Assessed

The Pearson HNC is a mix of assignments, project work and some exams. Training and assessments are delivered in the workplace and in college. Apprentices will be required to attend college-based sessions as part of their training, whilst also completing off-the-job training in the workplace. You will also complete assessments and observations in the workplace.

Apprentices without Level 2 English and Maths will need to achieve this level prior to taking the End Point Assessment (EPA).

At the end of the apprenticeship, the apprentice will be ready for the EPA which includes:

• Portfolio of evidence to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours of the standard
• 40- minute multiple- choice knowledge test
• 2,500- word work- based project based on one of the following: an idea/ business opportunity, methodologies, quality standards or environmental impact
• 60- minute professional discussion with an independent assessor

Course Progression

This programme is widely recognised by employers and professional bodies. The apprentice may wish to explore further education and/ or membership of relevant professional bodies.

Where Your Course Can Take You

This apprenticeship will include the knowledge, skills and behaviours typically required to achieve Technician status or the equivalent with the industry's recognised professional bodies. The final assessment process for this apprenticeship will typically be representative of the review process required for professional registration.

Fees

September 2025, Apprenticeship, Day

Apprenticeship course fees are subject to the age of the apprentice, and the size of the company.

For employers with less than 50 employees who do not pay the apprenticeship levy and who take on an apprentice who is aged between 16-21 at the start of their apprenticeship, there will be no direct cost and the full training costs will be covered by Government funding. If the apprentice is aged 22+ the government partially subsides the training costs and the employer will need to pay 5% of the costs. In the case of this course, the fee would be £450.

A levy paying company will pay the full cost of the apprenticeship from their levy account which in this case would be £9,000.

Please note that course fees are to be paid by the employer and apprentices must not be asked to make a financial contribution toward their training.
