Within the ‘End Point Assessment’ section for ST0033/AP02 there is an area for the apprentice to upload a copy of their Level 2 Apprenticeship Framework certificate. This exempts them from Phases 1 and 2 and Gateways 1 and 2. However, if they want the opportunity to achieve an overall grade higher than a ‘pass’ they need to complete Gateway 2.

If the apprentice has completed a Level 2 VRQ (usually completed during a full-time course) this only exempts them from Phase 1 and Gateway 1. This certificate could be uploaded to the same place but it must be clearly labelled that it is only a VRQ certificate and not the full Apprenticeship certificate.
