Level 4

If an apprentice is aged 16-18 and has not previously achieved the required level of English and maths, they will need to complete Functional Skills as part of their apprenticeship programme.

While Functional Skills are no longer mandatory for adult apprentices (19+), literacy and numeracy skills remain essential for success.

For those without prior English and Maths qualifications, we recommend level 1 maths and level 1 English to support career growth and workplace efficiency.

Our tailored support ensures these skills are seamlessly integrated into the apprenticeship journey, helping every apprentice develop these vital skills.

The End Point Assessment (EPA) for the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability  Practitioner Apprenticeship includes:

• Professional discussion, underpinned by a portfolio of evidence
• Project proposal, presentation and questioning.

This programme is designed to be delivered within a learning community to promote personal & career networking and peer collaboration. 

Learners will be expected to attend online group sessions and 121 coaching sessions with their EDN Executive Coach.
