Business projects must be well-managed to ensure their success. An Associate Project Manager helps achieve this by understanding what needs to be done, how it will be done, how long it will take to do it and what it will cost. They work closely with a motivated and integrated team and use their knowledge, skills and behaviours to effectively meet the required project outcomes. As such, great organisational, planning, leadership, management and communication skills are a must in this role.
End-Point Assessment Components
To complete their End-Point Assessment, Associate Project Manager apprentices must achieve a pass, merit or distinction in the following two components.
-
The apprentice gives a presentation lasting 20-30 minutes (+10%) during which they address five of the standard’s learning areas. The presentation should draw upon evidence presented in the apprentice’s portfolio of evidence to showcase how they have demonstrated the knowledge, skills and behaviours in the five chosen areas during their time on the programme.
Each of the areas is scored out of five points, giving a total possible score of 25.
-
Lasting 45 minutes (+10%), the professional discussion is a structured, two-way discussion between the apprentice and their End-Point Assessor. The End-Point Assessor reviews the portfolio of evidence in order to prepare questions related to the 10 learning areas assigned to this assessment method.
Each of the areas is scored out of five points, giving a total possible score of 50.
