How long does the case study presentation for the Early Years Lead Practitioner standard last?

Apprentices will prepare and deliver a presentation that appropriately covers the knowledge, skills and behaviours assigned to this method of assessment alongside the case study report. This component complements the case study report component as it allows the apprentice to provide more clarity around the report and the End-Point Assessor the opportunity to probe and clarify issues through questioning.

The case study with presentation content will be completed and submitted 12 weeks after the gateway. The presentation will be completed two weeks after the case study, and the presentation will be presented to an End-Point Assessor either face-to-face or via online video conferencing.

There will be a 40-minute presentation and questioning, split into typically 20 minutes for the presentation and typically 20 minutes for questioning.

This presentation requires the apprentice to illustrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours that are mapped to this assessment method. The End-Point Assessor has the discretion to increase the time of the presentation by up to 10% to allow the apprentice to complete their last point.

The End-Point Assessor will ask a minimum of four questions at the end of the presentation.

The purpose of the questions will be:

• for clarification
• to assess the depth and breadth of understanding.
