L7 - Senior Professional Economist
3. Test
Rationale for this assessment method Some of the theory the apprentice will have learned may not be directly relevant to their current roles. This means that they would not have an opportunity to demonstrate that knowledge in either their work-based project or the professional discussion. The test allows them to demonstrate their understanding of the knowledge as set out below.
Apprentices must have 120 minutes to complete the test. The test will be set by the EPAO and will be invigilated by an appropriate invigilator. The invigilator may be the independent assessor or another external person employed by the EPAO or specialised (proctor) software, if the test is computer based.
