What content will be covered in the observation for the Learning and Skills Assessor standard?

In the observation, the End-Point Assessor observes the apprentice in their workplace. The apprentice completes their day-to-day duties under normal working conditions. This allows the apprentice to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours mapped to this assessment method through naturally occurring evidence. The End-Point Assessor asks questions as explained below. Simulation is not permitted during the observation.

The questioning by the End-Point Assessor ensures the accuracy of the assessment decision made by the apprentice during the observation. The End-Point Assessor can clarify elements of the observation, add context to what was observed, and reinforce evidence against knowledge, skills and behaviours not fully evidenced during the observation.
