Modern Apprenticeship
Description
Apprentices may continue to work as a competent craftsperson in their current job role for the rest of their careers. However, they can also progress horizontally within the sector to complete qualifications or units at the same level relevant to their job role. Where appropriate, progress to higher level qualifications and/or higher-level work within the sector, for example to supervisory and managerial roles.
There are no specific entry requirements for this framework. However, the apprentice MUST be in a job role that supports the completion of the CBQ in the pathway they have chosen to complete and should be assessed as having the ability to complete all components of the framework prior to registration.
