The demand for skilled and effective senior leaders is at an all-time high. Organisations are seeking individuals with the strategic vision, interpersonal skills, and business acumen to drive success. We are thrilled to introduce our new Level 7 End-Point Assessment for Senior Leaders, to equip your apprentices with the competencies needed to excel in these roles.

The Growing Need for Senior Leaders

The complexity of modern organisations requires a new leadership style. Gone are the days of command-and-control management; today’s leaders must be adaptable, inclusive, and capable of navigating a rapidly changing business landscape. This EPA is designed to equip your apprentices with the essential skills to meet these challenges.

How the Assessment Works

Our Level 7 Senior Leader End-Point Assessment assesses an apprentice’s ability to demonstrate strategic leadership, operational effectiveness, and people development. It consists of two key components:

• > Strategic Business Proposal: Apprentices will develop and present a strategic business proposal, showcasing their ability to analyse complex situations, propose innovative solutions, and effectively communicate their ideas.
• > Professional Discussion: Based on a portfolio of evidence, apprentices will engage in a professional discussion with assessors, demonstrating their knowledge, skills, and experience in senior leadership roles.

Supporting Your Apprentices’ Success

We understand that preparing apprentices for an end-point assessment requires careful planning and support. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive package of resources to assist you:

• > Detailed briefing and grading documents
• > Clear guidance for apprentices, training providers, and employers
• > Practical templates for portfolio development and business proposals
• > Sample assessment questions
• > Dedicated support through our Apprentice Hub
• > Annual reports to ensure continuous improvement

Gateway Requirements and Assessment Plan

To ensure that apprentices are well-prepared for the assessment, they must meet specific gateway requirements, including achieving English and Mathematics at Level 2. Additionally, they will need to submit a portfolio of evidence and a strategic business proposal outline.
