What is End-Point Assessment?
The End-Point Assessment (EPA) is the final stage of an apprenticeship and it tests the knowledge, skills and behaviours that an apprentice has gained during their training. It must be delivered by an organisation that has not been involved in the delivery of the training itself, and that is an approved End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO).
