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).

Workplace Apprenticeship Co-ordinator from the Fire & Rescue sector said:

“The support from SFJ Awards was exceptional from start to finish. Not just the final two days of EPA, but all the preparation work that was provided by Kit Salt, Nichola Gutteridge and the bookings team, which helped us even before we were entering the EPA process. They supported us to understand what to expect, how to get the best out of our apprentices and this was a massive help.

“Some scenarios were adapted to suit our needs, facility and equipment, which was great as the team understood one scenario will not fit all services. Throughout the process this seemed like a personalised package just for us. It was the perfect way to finish off our apprentices’ journey.”
