This report provides information on the volumes and outcomes of apprenticeship end-point assessments (EPAs) taken by apprentices in England from March 2023 to February 2024.
The data in this report only relates to EPAs regulated by Ofqual. It does not include integrated higher and degree apprenticeships regulated by the Office for Students.
