It typically takes 24 months plus the 12 week End Point Assessment period (EPA). The course is 50% work products, and 50% practical observations in your role.
End Point Assessment
This is pretty much the same as what you have experienced throughout the programme; you will have an observation and a professional discussion supported by your portfolio of evidence.
TQUK Level 4 HLTA Status
Within the Level 5 Assistant SENCO we have also embedded the Level 4 Higher Level Teacher Status certificate which will use the same portfolio evidence - still all completely free!
Maths and English
If you are over 19 years old there is no requirement to have Level 2 Maths and English qualifications; however if you would like to complete these alongside your apprenticeship we can offer these - all still free!
