Years 1–3 The tasks in this manual have been organised into Years 1, 2 and 3. Successful completion of all the tasks to the end of Year 3 should indicate readiness for independent End-point Assessment. Employers and education and training providers should utilise the content of this document to assist in the design of the learning and development phase of the apprenticeship. All apprenticehips consist of: on-programme phase, gateway and EPA. During the gateway the employer and the training organisation with the apprentice must agree that he/she is ready for end-point assessment and has achieved the level of skills, knowledge, behaviours, maths and English expected to successfully complete the apprenticeship. The tasks in this manual have been developed to train and support apprentices. They can be completed more than once in order for them to gain confidence with their practical skills and gain the additional knowledge, behaviours and skills required to be ready for the End-point Assessment.

Stages of the apprenticeship journey On-programme – training for Year 1 The apprentice completes the on-programme tasks alongside an on-going review of their workplace soft skills and behaviours.
Annual review 1 The apprentice successfully completes • foundation skills • routine service inspection skills • annual evaluation. On-programme – training for Year 2 The apprentice completes the on-programme tasks alongside an on-going review of their workplace soft skills and behaviours.
Annual review 2 The apprentice successfully completes • removal and replacement • intermediate diagnostics • annual evaluation. On-programme – training for Year 3 The apprentice completes the on-programme tasks alongside an on-going review of their workplace soft skills and behaviours.
Final review The apprentice successfully completes • complex diagnostics • repair. The trainer/mentor and employer review the training manual, annual elevations, behavioural evidence and confirm that the apprentice is ready for the End Point Assessment.

Apprentice report on Task 15 completed example: Lighting unit and bulb replacement Provide a brief written report of the procedures carried out to include the following criteria. 1 Risk assessment. 2 Correct use of tools used. 3 Overall self-evaluation of finished product, including a report of any damage. Apprentice report
The task involved removing the rear lighting cluster from the near side mud and spray unit. This involved removing the lens cover and the supporting 4 mounting nuts and bolts. The risk identified was to make sure the area was clean and safe, also the lights switched off during removal. I also informed others where I was working. While the lens cover was removed it was identified that conventional bulbs were not fitted. Instead, a series of LEDs were fitted as marker lights. This unit was refitted while the lens was off. I checked the lighting system to ensure that all lights functioned correctly. The lens was fitted back with 6 set screws and made secure. All the tools were put back in the toolbox correctly and the floor area was swept up. I wore correct PPE at all times, also worked with the manager to check my work to set standards. I worked with Ernie Edwards who held the lamp and tools and switched the lights on for me. Trainer/mentor feedback Task completed safely with risks identified, good communication shown with colleague. All the removal and refit exercise completed to a very good standard. Ernie and Tommy worked very well together. Lights checked and task completed.
