Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
Workshops/ practical: portfolio building; effective communication through presentation and discussion; professional development; developing projects and proposals.

Tutorials: individual tutorials to support apprentices in identifying KSBs they acquired and how these were used and developed in the workplace in projects and tasks.

 
Module Overview:
This module consolidates the apprentice’s learning and workplace experiences to date. It introduces them to the requirements of the gateway and end point assessment, enabling them to understand the purpose of both in relation to their knowledge, skills and behaviours. It also allows for apprentices to develop further understanding of the importance of the soft skills needed to work effectively in industry and business.

Apprentices will develop materials suitable to enter gateway, also compiling a portfolio to form the basis of their professional discussion (Professional Discussion Assessment). They will have the opportunity to evidence their acquired KSBs, identifying and articulating where and how these were achieved in the workplace.

Apprentices will also develop materials in preparation for the project development, presentation and questioning that comprises the Project and Presentation Assessment.
Additional Information:
As a gateway requirement and prior to taking the EPA, apprentices must:  
  • Achieve 340 credits of the BA (Hons) in Creative Digital Design, from the on-programme apprenticeship, formally confirmed prior to the gateway. 
  • Meet the knowledge, skills and behaviours in the Creative Digital Design Professional (Integrated Degree) apprenticeship standard. 

Apprentices without English and mathematics at level 2 must achieve level 2 prior to taking their EPA. The EPA must be completed within an EPA period typically lasting a maximum of 6 months, beginning when the apprentice has passed the EPA gateway.
