Level 2 Bricklayer End-point Assessment (9077)

On-programme is the learning phase for apprentices to pick up the skills, knowledge and behaviours set out in the standard. Apprentices need to complete 20% off-the-job training during the on-programme phase of their apprenticeship which must take place in the apprentice’s contracted hours. The apprentice must also complete a portfolio of evidence during their on-programme learning. The portfolio is not graded but will form the basis for the questioning during the oral questioning. The apprentice must collect supporting evidence throughout their final year to build up their portfolio. It is recommended that employers and training providers work closely to support the apprentice to gather evidence to include within their portfolio, such as a journal recording their experiences, formative written and practical tests, as well as employer appraisals.

The end-point assessment will demonstrate that the apprentice can perform in a fully competent and productive way. The end-point assessment will contain three components – all components must be passed for the apprentice to meet the apprenticeship standard. The three components consist of:

• Knowledge test – The knowledge test will consist of 40 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 60 minutes. 10 questions will be scenario-based and will assess knowledge synoptically through scenarios that resemble real life situations apprentices could encounter in their role. 30 questions will be knowledge-based and will assess an apprentice's knowledge and skills from across the standard. 
• Skills test – The skills test will consist of simulated practical tasks that will holistically assess the skills, knowledge and behaviours in the standard. The skills test will be completed over 2 days (12 hours).  
• Oral questions – The oral questioning will be approximately 15 questions and will ask questions around the apprentices’ portfolio of evidence and assess other areas of the standard not assessed in the Knowledge test or Skills test. The oral questioning will take between 45-60 minutes.
