HR Support Level 3
Version 1.1 | ST0239
EPA Overview
End-Point Assessment (EPA) is the final stage of the apprenticeship and provides an opportunity for apprentices to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and behaviours they have developed during their HR Support Level 3 apprenticeship.
The assessment for a HR Support Level 3 apprentice includes a Consultative Project and a Professional Discussion.
An apprentice cannot achieve their apprenticeship without passing the End-Point Assessment.
End-Point Assessment for HR Support Level 3 can be carried out remotely or face-to-face.
Gateway Requirements
Gateway requirements for HR Support Level 3 apprentices are;
Evidence of achieving relevant maths and English qualifications if required by funding regulations or the employer
Typically, 18 months on programme
Assessment Methods
The EPA for the HR Support Level 3 apprenticeship is made up of two assessment components, both of which must be passed to achieve the apprenticeship.
Consultative Project
Apprentices will submit a report on a real example of work undertaken to deliver HR advice or provide and HR solution, demonstrating how they have applied their knowledge and HR-related skills to deliver the services required by the role.
Professional Discussion
Apprentices will have a 2-way discussion with an Independent End-Point Assessor for 60-75 minutes, using a minimum of 13 questions. Up to 3 criteria from the Consultative Project may be moved to the Professional Discussion.
Results
NQual will communicate results within 10 working days of the final assessment.
If an apprentice Fails one or more component, they will be offered the opportunity to re-sit / re-take the component(s). It is then up to the apprentice’s employer how many attempts an apprentice is given.
Where any assessment method must be re-sat or re-taken, the apprentice will be awarded a maximum EPA grade of Pass. Re-sits and re-takes are not offered to an apprentice wishing to move from Pass to a higher grade.
