Completing Your Apprenticeship

Gateway

Once you’ve completed your on programme training you will go through gateway. This is where we agree with you and your line manager that you have acquired the knowledge, skills and behaviours set out in the Apprenticeship standard and are ready to undertake end point assessment.

End Point Assessment (EPA)

EPA is the process at the end of your program for you to demonstrate to a third-party assessor that you have acquired knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSB’s) throughout your training set out in the Apprenticeship standard.

The EPA will be carried out by an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO). The EPAO is an impartial organisation which takes responsibility for the final assessment of the apprentice against the requirements of their apprenticeship.

Your assessment

During EPA, you will complete the following:

A suitable time and date will be agreed with you and your employer.
This is normally sat at your place of work and invigilated by a member of our team.

You will deliver a presentation to an independent end-point assessor on your business transformation project. You would have worked on this with your coach so will be fully prepared. This can be done remotely; you will need a laptop or computer with a webcam and a suitable date will be booked with you and your employer

this will be straight after your presentation with the same independent end-point assessor and will focus on obtaining details of your learning throughout the course.

Top Tips …

Challenge Yourself

Part of your EPA is to complete a business improvement project.

This can be anything where you can demonstrate your KSB’s learnt through the Apprenticeship.

Be Proactive

Try to consider what sort of projects you would like to get involved with as early as possible to give yourself time to complete it. Your coach will support you through this and will be able to answer questions about what you could carry out.
