Knowledge, Skills & Behaviours (often referred to as KSBs) are the core attributes an apprentice must have in order to be competent in the occupation they are working in. The End-point Assessment (EPA) will test an apprentice’s competency against the KSBs set out in the apprenticeship programme.
The information, technical detail and ‘know-how’ that an apprentice needs to both attain and understand in order to carry out their duties. Some of these will be specific to the occupation, but some may be broader.
The practical application of knowledge. Apprentices will have gained skills through both on-and off-the-job training, as well as through experience.
The mindset, attitudes or approaches needed for competence. Behaviours are transferable, so they may be similar across apprenticeship standards. Examples: teamwork, problem solving, and having a professional attitude.
