The completion of this apprenticeship standard will require monthly training visits from a qualified IPS Trainer to help support the apprentice. This will allow them to develop skills and progress the building of the apprentice portfolio to prepare the learner for the End Point Assessment.

Delivery is primarily carried out through remote visits, but the trainer will visit the learner’s workplace quarterly and at the start of training to allow for a good working relationship between all parties for smooth delivery of the standard. Upon successful completion, the learner will achieve the Level 3 Business Administrator Standard.
