Below we will add any frequently asked questions that we receive relating to this webinar.
Each application to use the discretion of a professional discussion will be reviewed individually to ensure that training providers have exhausted all contingencies prior to an application. Employers and training providers will be required to provide a rationale with supporting evidence to confirm the apprentice’s eligibility.
VTCT deliver EPAs on a Sunday, where most hairdressing salons are closed and we anticipate the ‘client backlog’ will have subsided after VTCT’s 30 day booking period for an End-point Assessment.
Apprentices must meet the eligibility criteria before an application to use this discretion can be made.
The professional discussion should take up to a maximum of one hour and will be conducted via Microsoft Teams.
The costings for the professional discussion are the same as they are for the practical End-point Assessment.
Yes, they can.
