The presentation is 10-15 minutes with a further 10-15 minutes for questions and answers. The project should be completed from the ninth month of the Apprenticeship and before EPA. This accounts for 40% of the final mark.
Portfolio interview -The 30-45 minute interview assesses the apprentice’s competence, self-reflection, judgement and understanding of the entire Apprenticeship. The portfolio provides a structure for this conversation and should be submitted to the EPA organisation two weeks prior to interview. This accounts for 40% of the final mark.
