EPA AE1 - Assessor Overview
This video gives assessors a brief overview of the AE1 assessor guide for the BSc Digital and Technology Solutions Professional apprenticeship. It explains how the guide supports assessors in reviewing the project report, presentation and Q&A, judging evidence against the relevant KSBs, applying grading criteria, and completing assessment paperwork consistently.
The overview explains:
- The purpose of AE1.
- How evidence should be reviewed.
- The relationship between the project report and the KSB requirements.
- How assessors should make professional judgements.
- Expectations for recording evidence and rationale.
A strong emphasis is placed on evaluating evidence rather than accepting statements at face value. Apprentices must demonstrate competence through documented examples, explanations, outputs and outcomes.
