End-point assessment (EPA) is the final assessment for an apprentice to ensure that they are able to do the job they have been training for.
EPA is separate to any qualifications or other assessment that the apprentice may undertake during the on-programme stage of the apprenticeship.
What is end-point assessment?
Compare it to learning to drive:
1 On-programmeA learner (apprentice) will work with the driving instructor to gain the knowledge skills and behaviours needed to drive
2 Assessment gateway
There will be practice theory tests, and the driving instructor does practice driving tests with the learner
3 EPAFinal theory test and practical driving test for the learner
During the final theory test, the learner will be assessed by an assessor who is a different person from the driving instructor. This is done to ensure that any decision made is impartial and fair.

EPAs will either be delivered by an independent third party or in such a way that no party who has been involved in delivery of the apprenticeship can make the sole decision on competence and passing the end-point assessment. This is to ensure that all apprentices following the same standard are assessed consistently and that any decision made is fair and impartial.
Who can deliver end-point assessment?
The Skills Funding Agency (SFA) created the Register of Apprentice Assessment Organisations (RoAAO) for employers. It is a list of organisations that have been assessed as being suitable to conduct independent end-point assessment of apprentices and be in receipt of public funds.
Only organisations on the Register can be selected to undertake the end-point assessment of apprentices.
This is separate to the Register of Apprenticeship Training Organisations (RoATO).

End-point assessment high-level process
Assessment Organisation added to the RoAAO
Employer selects organisation from the RoAAO and informs provider
Provider & assessment organisation agree working arrangement & provider formally contracts with organisation
Assessment organisation delivers EPA & applies for certificate
Assessment organisation receives final payment via main provider

An end-point assessment organisation must:■■ have relevant occupational experience of the standard■■ have relevant assessment experience and expertise■■ robustly manage any conflict of interest■■ quality assure their activity
The end-point assessment organisation
An end-point assessment organisation cannot:■■ deliver the learning elements to the same apprentice■■ deliver end-point assessment to non-apprentices

End Point Assesment

■■ It is critically important that employers ensure that the apprentice has acquired the full set of knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs) along with any mandatory qualifications and this is generally described in the assessment plan as a gateway to the EPA.
■■ The employer (and training provider, if involved) decides if an apprentice is ready for their end-point assessment.
■■ The employer should be confident that the apprentice will pass their end-point assessment, at this point.
■■ However, assessment plans may describe the gateway differently.
■■ One size does not fit all.

■■ The key is that end-point assessment/s needs to be delivered as described in the individual assessment plans.
■■ This will differ between standards. ■■ Components are graded and again the grading
differs between standards.■■ One standard may say observation is a pass/fail
whereas others say pass/merit/distinction for the observation.
■■ Regardless of how the individual components are graded, all apprentices will come out with a single overall apprenticeship grade.

Assessment organisations will undertake internal quality assurance of EPAs. External quality assurance is carried out by another body, as specified within the assessment plan
Assessment plans will identify one of four different approaches to external quality assurance:
■■ Institute for Apprenticeships
■■ Ofqual
■■ Professional Body-led model
■■ Employer-led model
Quality assurance of end-point assessment

Delivering end-point assessment
Promotion of services & engagement with employers
Reporting & moderation of results; results reported to
apprentice & employerApply to SFA for Certification
Selection – negotiation & agreement of costs & service Delivering EPA EQA requirements and reporting
Contract with provider & contractual agreement to allow payment to flow & confirmation of EPA arrangements: hosting & premises, timings, re-sits, etc.
Preparing for EPA: numbers of apprentices, access to
assestment, confirmation gateway requirements met,
English & maths requirements met, Col checks etc
