Associate Ambulance Practitioner Apprenticeship Standard Consultation 2025

Welcome

Level 4 Apprenticeship Standard for Associate Ambulance Practitioner

Background: Apprenticeship Standards describe the high-level knowledge, skills and behaviours required to carry out a defined occupation. They are developed by employer led Trailblazer Groups and are available for a range of different occupations from level 2 through to 7. The apprenticeship Standard for Associate Ambulance Practitioner is at Level 4.

Rationale for developing a standard for this occupation:

The Level 4 Associate Ambulance Practitioner apprenticeship standard was originally approved for delivery in 2017.

In the meantime, the format of the standards and the requirements set by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IFATE) have evolved.

The Trailblazer Group has reconvened to refresh the Standard and the End Point Assessment Plan (EPA) and bring them in line with current requirements by the end of 2025.

Structure of the standard: Trailblazers must develop standards that comply with the criteria set out by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education in their 'How To' Guide. The criteria mean that the standard must:

1. Be completed in line with their template
2. Describe an occupation which is defined and distinct (with minimum overlap with other apprenticeship standards)
3. Use high level descriptors rather than providing a detailed curriculum.

The new format includes duties to which all the knowledge, skills and behaviour statements are mapped.

Full details of apprenticeships commonly used in the health sector can be found on HASO.
