This guide is for apprentices. It will help you find out about what to expect from your end-point assessment (EPA). EPA is an independent assessment at the final stage of your apprenticeship. It tests the knowledge, skills and behaviours that you have gained during your apprenticeship programme. You will not be able to achieve your apprenticeship without passing your EPA.

Your EPA is a regulated qualification. This means you can expect timely, fair and consistent assessment at the end of your training, and protection if things go wrong. Regulated qualifications include GCSEs, A levels and vocational and technical qualifications including Functional Skills Qualifications and EPA.
