  • Developing Visual and Audio Content
  • Collaboration
  • Manage Online Content

During your apprenticeship you will gather evidence as part of a portfolio to demonstrate your knowledge, skills and behaviours.

  • Completion of workbooks and knowledge questions.
  • Virtual observations, carried out in line with data protection and GDPR requirements.
  • Recorded professional discussions to capture reflective learning and understanding.
  • Witness testimonies from managers to verify on-the-job performance and competence.

Forget about lugging around all your work. The online iLearner e-portfolio system means all your work can be uploaded directly to your account and accessed wherever you go.

The system is easy to navigate and full guidance will be provided through our iLearner handbook and from your tutor through one-to-one support.

Off-the-Job Training

FOff-the-job (OTJ) training is a mandatory part of all apprenticeships funded by the Department for Education. Each apprenticeship standard has a set number of OTJ training hours that must be planned and completed. If you have no prior learning and your apprenticeship duration and funding have not been reduced, you are expected to complete the full number of OTJ hours as specified in the standard.

There is no requirement to increase OTJ hours for part-time apprentices. This includes those working less than 30 hours per week or on zero-hour contracts. The training must be realistic and aligned with the standard’s set requirements.

OTJ training takes place during your normal working hours and involves learning activities that are directly related to your apprenticeship. This could include one-to-one sessions with a tutor, preparing for assessments, role-playing workplace scenarios, attending training sessions or webinars on key industry topics and individual study time to complete coursework.

Functional Skills

Functional Skills maths and English are an essential part of many apprenticeship courses. Apprentices aged 16-18 who have not previously achieved GCSE Grade 4/C (or an equivalent qualification) are required to complete and achieve their Functional Skills qualifications. However, for adult apprentices (19+), Functional Skills are now optional and not a mandatory requirement for completing an apprenticeship. The decision is for the employer and the learner to decide whether to undertake these qualifications.

Benefits of completing Functional Skills:

  • Some higher-level roles and further qualifications require maths and English at Level 1 or 2. Completing Functional Skills can open doors to promotions and further education.
  • Strong communication and numerical skills are essential in most job roles, helping with tasks like report writing, budgeting, and problem-solving.
  • Functional Skills help with real-life tasks, such as managing finances, understanding contracts, and effective communication in personal and professional settings.
  • Functional Skills are designed to be practical and flexible, meaning they can be tailored to fit around your apprenticeship work.

The End-Point Assessment

As part of your Content Creator Apprenticeship, an End-Point Assessment (EPA) will be completed to demonstrate your development and growth. You can achieve either a Pass or Distinction based on your final grade.

Project/Campaign Report and Presentation

During the final 6 months of your apprenticeship, you will work towards completing a Work-Based Project or Campaign of your choosing. This Project must be one you have personally contributed to and developed content for. For the End-Point Assessment, you will complete both an Evaluation Report of the success of the Project and a Presentation with Questions and Answers. You will showcase the knowledge, skills, and behaviours you have learnt throughout your apprenticeship.

Professional Discussion

Following on from the Project Report and Presentation, you will conduct a Professional Discussion with a third-party independent assessor to establish further understanding of your knowledge and skills. This may cover a number of scenarios you may have encountered in your job role, and questions relating to the development of skills.
