3. Presentation
The presentation is a structured discussion between the apprentice and their university lecturers and employer, focusing on the outcomes of the synoptic project. It covers both what the apprentice has done, the standard of their work, and also how they have done it. Typically this is the approach taken in university individual projects. This enables the assessment to include the assessment of skills, knowledge and behaviours as required by the standard.
The purpose of the presentation is to review:
what the apprentice set out to achieve;
what they have actually produced in the project;
the standard of their work;
how they have approached the work and dealt with any issues arising;
clarify any questions the university/employer has from their assessment of the project;
explore aspects of the project work, including how it was carried out, in more detail;
confirm the demonstration of appropriate interpersonal and behavioural skills.
confirm the demonstration of appropriate interpersonal and behavioural skills.
The presentation will be assessed as part of the overall project assessment. The university will provide guidance on the nature of the presentation and the assessment criteria used. This will ensure that consistent approaches are taken and that all key areas are appropriately explored.
The initial and
primary focus for the presentation is on the work presented in the project. However, the presentation
assessors can explore the apprentice’ broader experience from the workplace, to demonstrate that
the skills and knowledge defined in the standard have been met.
