Level 3 Infrastructure Technician Apprenticeship

The programme is designed to take an individual and bring them up to the standard of knowledge, skill and behaviour (KSB) outlined on the
Level 3 Infrastructure Technician Standard (and below). The KSBs have been selected by industry-leading IT-support providers and
employers. The apprentice’s KSBs will be confirmed via a third-party assessment of their competence – known as an End Point Assessment
(EPA).
There is a full programme of learning to prepare the apprentice for their EPA. The apprentice’s employer will work to ensure the apprentice
is challenged appropriately in their working environment to allow them to develop their KSBs within a workplace setting. Youthforce will
work in partnership with the apprentice’s employer to capture evidence of the apprentice’s progress at work in an e-portfolio. Youthforce will
also provide training sessions that will: (a) prepare the apprentice to pass the five knowledge qualifications/modules required before they
can move on to their EPA; and (b) target any specific skills that the apprentice needs to develop further.
The EPA consists of four forms of assessment: (1) review of the apprentice’s portfolio of work; (2) a reference from the apprentice’s employer;
(3) a synoptic project; and (4) an interview. All four forms of assessment will inform the apprentices final grade: pass, merit or distinction
