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

If an apprentice fails any of the assessment components, they may be eligible for a resit or retake at their employer’s discretion. A resit does not require further learning, whereas a retake does.

Retake and resit grade cap: pass.

Resit timeframe: typically two months.

Retake timeframe: 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 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 ful
