This is an overview paragraph/role description paragraph. Its purpose is to explain what the apprenticeship involves, what the job role is, and the typical responsibilities of someone in that position. It gives prospective apprentices a high-level understanding of the occupation rather than detailed information about the qualification itself. You can find information to fill this section out on the Skills England website, by searching for the specified apprenticeship. It should be around the length of the paragraph here.

Entry Requirements

Learners must meet the national eligibility requirements for apprenticeship programmes and:

be aged under 25 at the start of their apprenticeship training

live in England

not be in full-time education

VQA developed these assessments with employers, training providers, and early years experts, based on sector feedback.

Assessments take place only when the employer, provider, and learner confirm readiness, including on-programme where appropriate.

Subject to centre approval, VQA offers a 50% partnership model with centre assessors. This is supported by a comprehensive guidance package for induction, standardisation, and delivery.
