• Apprentices looking to advance to the development phase of a relevant apprenticeship  standard.

Knowledge and understanding are key components of competent performance, but it is unlikely that performance evidence alone will provide enough evidence in this area.  Where the apprentice’s knowledge and understanding is not apparent from performance evidence, it must be assessed by other means and be supported by suitable evidence.
