What is an End Point Assessment? End Point Assessment (EPA) is the name given to the final assessment for a learner to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and behaviours ability to meet their role requirements.

These assessments take place and once agreed at the end of an apprenticeship following a period of training and development often referred to as the ‘on-programme’ training period.

How does an End Point Assessment work? When a learner reaches the end of their training, the employer (supported by the training provider) will make the decision on whether or not the leaner is ready to take the EPA – this decision process or stage is known as the “gateway”.

Who conducts the End point assessment? Only an approved End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) can conduct an End-point assessment, our preferred EPAOs are City & Guilds and ILM. As the training provider, we would make all the necessary arrangements with the EPAO.
