The AI and automation practitioner level 4 apprenticeship

The AI and Automation Practitioner apprenticeship focuses on designing, building, and improving automated systems that support business processes. It develops the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to apply AI and automation tools in real scenarios, analyse processes to identify opportunities, design and implement solutions, and work with stakeholders to deliver measurable outcomes.

assessment

Our approach gives providers and apprentices flexibility in how assessment is delivered. By offering choice over appropriate assessment methods and when they take place, we can better reflect different roles, working environments and individual needs, making assessment more inclusive while keeping expectations fair, consistent and focused on the same occupational standard.

Mandatory assessment method

All apprentices will have to complete the following assessment method. This assessment method takes place on-programme, when the apprentice is ready.

Flexible assessment method

Providers and apprentices will select one of the following assessment methods. This assessment method takes place at the end of the apprenticeship.

delivery models

Choose the approach that works for your delivery model. Both options are designed to keep assessment clear, manageable and consistent. Whichever model you choose, the same clear processes, quality assurance and support sit behind the assessment.

fully managed

progress minded delivers both assessment methods, giving you a complete assessment service from start to finish.

supported

You deliver the centre-led assessment method, while progress minded delivers the other assessment method and samples assessment decisions for consistency.

resources

We provide practical support and resources throughout delivery, helping you understand the assessment requirements, prepare apprentices effectively and keep everything on track. From clear guidance to direct support from our team, everything is designed to make assessment simple, consistent and easy to manage.

Customer testimonials

Real feedback from apprentices, employers and training providers.

Liam (Apprentice)Oct 2025
I would also like to pass on positive feedback for Michelle, Apprentice Assessor and IQA. I was apprehensive about the end-point assessment, although I was fully prepared. She was very approachable, helpful and supportive which made me feel at ease
Peter (LearnTech)Dec 2025
Jessica sat her EPA this week and asked if there was any way she can leave feedback for her assessor: The feedback for Naseeba: "The assessor made me feel so calm and relaxed throughout the full exam and I'm super grateful for it!
Andrew (TMA) Oct 2025
I just wanted to share how good Catherine in your EPA Admin team is. She's very responsive, always helpful and does exactly what she says she will do. As a customer its refreshing to know that you never have to chase, but more importantly makes you feel valued.
Kieran (apprentice) April 2026
The end point assessment process was clear and straightforward, and communication with the progress minded team was excellent. I felt well supported every step of the way.
