WHAT DO I NEED TO COMPLETE GATEWAY?
Gateway takes place before an EPA can start. The employer and training provider will review their apprentice’s knowledge, skills and behaviours to see if they have met the minimum requirements of the apprenticeship set out in the apprenticeship standard, and are ready to take the assessment.
Minimum requirements:
To meet the minimum requirements set out in the apprenticeship standard an apprentice needs to:
- display occupational competency
- have evidence of or pass functional skill levels in English and maths
- complete mandatory training
- take any qualifications set out in the standard
- meet the minimum duration for their apprenticeship training
Only apprentices who complete gateway successfully can start the EPA.
