The gateway opens. You walk through it ready.

Sixty weeks of connected learning arrive at one place: gateway, then end-point assessment. By then you have rehearsed every part of it: more than once.

i

Situational judgement test · 90 minutes · 60 multiple-choice questions

A test of applied judgement: realistic adult-care scenarios, each with a set of possible responses, where you choose the best course of action. It draws on everything the programme teaches: values, communication, safeguarding, health and professional practice. Milestone 15 is a full mock, and scenario work runs through every milestone.

ii

Professional discussion · Maximum 45 minutes · structured, evidence-led

A planned, structured conversation with an independent assessor, drawing on your portfolio of work-based evidence across the six themes, your tasks and responsibilities, dignity and respect, communication, safeguarding, health and wellbeing, and your professional development. Milestones 11 to 14 build this directly, and Milestone 15 rehearses it in full.
