Who will the EPA affect?
Learners
The EPA has big impact for learners. Many apprentices choose vocational training over an academic course as it aligns with their practical strengths. By making the EPA mandatory for every apprenticeship, some learners may struggle to pass their course and could even be discouraged from applying in the first place.
Others will be motivated by the grading system, encouraging them to work hard to achieve a pass, merit or distinction.
Employers
Employers have to work closely with their training provider to monitor the progression of their apprentices. If learners aren’t prepared for the EPA and fail, employers may be charged extra for retakes. This means the employer will need to negotiate re-sit fees with their end-point assessment provider. With a digital eportfolio, employers can track their learners’ progression throughout their course, ensuring they’re not scheduled to sit to the EPA before they’re ready.
Training providers
Training providers will have to collaborate with the EPA provider to ensure their delivery matches the assessment plan outlines in the standard.
Reminder:
End Point Assessment (EPA) is the name given to a series of tests an apprentice must take to prove their ability to do the job they have been training for. … In some Standard based apprenticeships the on-programme stage may include mandatory requirements, such as supporting qualifications
End Point Assessment. The purpose of the end point assessment (EPA) is to test that an apprentice is fully capable of doing their job before they receive their apprenticeship certificate. It also helps to demonstrate that what an apprentice has learned can be applied in the real world.
