+   * Employer reference – confirming the apprentice has met the standards
+   * Completion and achievement of all the modules in the BSc Cyber Security Technical Professional Degree
+   * Passes at Level 2 English and Maths (If not already achieved).
+   * Technical discussion - to elicit sufficient evidence against the knowledge, skills and behaviours to inform whether the minimum standard has been achieved. This lasts 2 hours.
+Two independent assessors (from a University) will assess each element of the end point assessment and will then decide whether to award successful apprentices with a pass, a merit or a distinction.
