This is to make surethat apprentices meet the rigorous standard set by employers and are fully competent in the relevant occupation. Pearson must provide employers with the confidence that completing an apprenticeship means an individual is fully job-ready and that all apprentices,following the same standard, are assessed consistently, regardless of where they are undertaking their apprenticeship or who they are doing it with.
