Mentoring is the foundation of vocational training and apprenticeships, yet this standard is the first formal recognition of the role. Nowadays, mentoring takes place in all parts of the education and training sector and staff development contexts. Within the Learning Mentor apprenticeship, apprentices support learners of all ages and all levels to develop within a new work role. These learners may be Apprentices themselves, trainees or new recruits, ranging from young entrants to new CEOs.
End-Point Assessment Components
To complete their End-Point Assessment, Learning Mentor apprentices must achieve a pass or distinction in the following two components.
-
Two mentoring sessions are observed by the End-Point Assessor. Each session is genuine (rather than role-playing) and must involve different learners being mentored. Observations last 60 minutes (+/-10% variance), creating a total observation time of 120 minutes (+/-10% variance).
A question-and-answer session lasting for 10% of the total observation time takes place after the second observation.
The assessment is scored out of 32 points with a x2 weighting applied and represents 64% of the overall apprenticeship grade.
-
The Professional Discussion is a two-way discussion between the apprentice and their End-Point Assessor. The questions are based on the showcase portfolio submitted at gateway, to confirm examples of how the relevant knowledge, skills and behaviours have been met during the apprenticeship.
The professional discussion lasts 60 minutes (+/-10% variance). The assessment is scored out of 36 points and represents 36% of the overall apprenticeship grade.
