Conveyancing end point assessment

An independent organisation must be involved in the end point assessment of each apprentice.

The final six months of each apprenticeship culminates in an end point assessment, ensuring the apprentice meets the standard set by employers and that they are fully competent in the role.
The candidate takes the assessment when their employer and training provider are satisfied they meet the criteria.

Each of the Approaches to Assessment (Assessment Plans) for Conveyancing Technician and Licensed Conveyancer detail how end point assessment should be delivered by the approved Apprentice Assessment Organisation (AAO).

Assessment

Part 1 - An online scenario test taking up to two hours and consisting of two conveyancing scenarios to accommodate variable expanse or scope of tasks.
