These principles set out a range of changes to the previous approach to apprenticeship assessment, i. e. end-point assessment (EPA) . The principles apply to all apprenticeships, at all levels, including Foundation Apprenticeships.  \nThe changes create a more responsive apprenticeship assessment system, with more flexibility that will ensure assessment is taking place in the right place and at the right time, making best use of assessment organisations’expertise in assessment design.  \nIt will be more proportionate, reducing the burden on apprentices and employers (especially where assessment may take several days) while maintaining rigour and quality. External assessment will happen when it is most needed, freeing up assessor time and reducing assessment delays which currently affect apprentices, their employers, providers and the wider economy.  \nWhat remains the same  \n• Assessment is still based on the apprenticeship occupational standard and the apprentice’s ability to demonstrate occupational competence.  \n• Apprentices must still show the required knowledge, skills and behaviours for their role in the occupational standard.  \n• Assessments co","cbCaiiQhCWf0qEJB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiQhCWf0qEJB","pdf",2897616,49,"English","# The Administration Assistant Apprenticeship\n## Introduction\n## Purpose\n## Industry support and recognition\n# Key information\n# Apprenticeship assessment overview\n## Assessment structure for the Level 2 Administration Assistant Apprenticeship\n## Grading\n# Assessment requirements and conditions\n## Assessment plan\n## Synoptic assessment\n## Language of assessment\n## Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)\n## Adaptation of tasks or assessments\n## Delivery and/or marking of assessments on Pearson’s behalf\n## Recognition of Prior Learning\n# Assessment methods for Level 2 Administration Assistant\n## Assessment 1: Portfolio of Evidence\n## Assessment 2: Presentation with Questions\n# Delivery of Apprenticeship Assessments\n## Apprenticeship assessment planning and scheduling\n## Employer Responsibilities\n## Reassessment\n## Booking reassessment\n## Appeals\n## Gateway to completion requirements\n# Access to assessment\n## Access to assessment for apprentices with disabilities or specific needs\n## Reasonable adjustments\n# Malpractice\n## Dealing with malpractice in assessment\n## Apprentice malpractice\n## Tutor/provider malpractice\n# Further information\n# Glossary\n# Annexe A: Assessment Plan\n# Annexe B: Employer behaviour validation checklist\n# Annexe C: Gateway to completion declaration form","[{\"question\":\"How is the Level 2 Administration Assistant apprenticeship assessed, and what are the main assessment methods?\",\"answer\":\"Assessment uses a defined structure and includes two main methods: a portfolio of evidence and a presentation with questions.
