Training:
Level 3 Dental Nurse Apprenticeship Standard, which includes:
End-Point Assessment (EPA)
There will be limited sessions that will require college attendance at our Walsall Campus, during the training period. All other sessions remain virtual on a once-weekly basis.
Full-time apprentices will typically spend 15 months on-programme (before the gateway) working towards the occupational standard, with a minimum of 6 hours per week off the-job training.
The purpose of the End-Point Assessment (EPA) is to test that an apprentice is fully capable of doing their job before they receive their apprenticeship certificate. It also helps to demonstrate that what an apprentice has learned can be applied in the real world.
EPA methods of examination examples:
Assessment method 1: Knowledge Test
Assessment method 2: Observation of Practice
Assessment method 3: Interview underpinned by a portfolio
The focus is now on the outcome of an apprenticeship and apprentices have to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours that employers have identified they need.
Training is virtual once per week however there are x3 taught sessions that will require mandatory college attendance. Notice of these will be provided upon enrolment.Training Outcome:There may be a full time position available upon successful completion of the apprenticeship.
