slide5. Overview of L6 PHP apprenticeship<br>
slide6. Successes of the programme so far in London This apprenticeship programme has offered:
New development opportunities, either for those in existing positions in their organisations, or to attract new talent to their team or organisation.
The opportunity to build capacity and resilience within their services by ‘growing their own’ workforce.
New opportunities to individuals who may not otherwise access university education, seeking to redress inequalities that might prevail in their local communities and economies
Apprentices who are immediately employable by a range of employers providing both essential and transferable knowledge and skills.<br>
slide7. Components of the apprenticeship standard All apprenticeship standards are made up of the following components:
The occupational standard which contains the duties, performance criteria, knowledge, skills and behaviours for the occupation which the apprentice needs to learn by the end of their apprenticeship.
The assessment plan (or end point assessment (EPA)), which describes at least 2 methods of assessment that have to be successfully completed by the apprentice. The assessment plan also describes the EPA gateway. The gateway is the transition from the training and development phase to the end point assessment. At this point, the employer determines whether the apprentice is ready.
The 14 duties set out in the PHP standard reflect the functions described in the UK Public Health Skills and Knowledge Framework and the associated descriptors for professional and ethical practice.
The knowledge, skills and behaviours are what the apprentice will be graded on in the EPA. All the KSBs must be met by the apprentice, evidenced and assessed in order to pass their apprenticeship. If they fail just one part of the KSB, they will fail the entire EPA.
It is essential that employers fully understand the KSBs within the PHP apprenticeship standard to ensure you can provide adequate experience for each KSB either in the workplace or with a placement.

slide15. National procurement for L6 PHP apprenticeship training providers A national procurement exercise took place in 2020 by The Salisbury Managed Procurement framework resulting in eight training providers across England successfully meeting the required standards.
This framework is open to all public sector organisations. London employers are advised to use this procurement framework.
However, employers can undertake their own procurement to appoint a training provider that is not selected through the Salisbury Managed Procurement to satisfy their training needs. Benefits of working off the national procurement framework<br>
