What happens if the apprentice fails the observation for the Learning and Skills Assessor standard and needs to resit or retake it?

If an apprentice fails any of the assessment components, they will be eligible for a resit or retake. A resit does not require further learning, whereas a retake does.

Retake and resit grade cap: pass.

Resit time frame: typically two months.

Retake time frame: typically three months.

Resits and retakes are not offered to apprentices wishing to move from a pass to a higher grade. An apprentice will get a maximum end-point assessment grade of a pass for a resit or retake unless Training Qualifications UK determines there are exceptional circumstances. Failed assessment methods must be resat or retaken within six months from the end-point assessment outcome notification, otherwise, the entire end-point assessment will need to be resat or retaken in full.
