Across many different forms of communication (face-to-face, text messages, phone) and limitless industries, the role is perfect for people who like variety, love moving quickly, and relish new challenges.
Apprenticeship Assessment Components
To complete their Apprenticeship Assessment, Customer Service Practitioner apprentices must achieve a pass or distinction in the following components.
-
The apprentice showcase takes place after a minimum of 12 months of the apprenticeship has been completed. It is a written document or report of no fewer than 2000 words and no more than 3000 words. The apprentice then discusses the document with their Apprenticeship Assessment Assessor during a 30-minute interview.
-
The practical observation is scheduled when the apprentice is in their normal place of work and is carried out by the Apprenticeship Assessment Assessor. The observation allows the apprentice to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and behaviours and lasts a minimum of one hour and a maximum of two hours.
-
The professional discussion takes place between the apprentice and the Apprenticeship Assessment Assessor and lasts for 60 minutes. 15 minutes of time is allowed for the Assessor to ask clarifying questions. Underpinned by the portfolio of evidence, the professional discussion is meant to further establish that the apprentice understands the knowledge, skills and behaviours required of them. It is structured to draw out their enthusiasm, energy, competence and excellence.
