End-Point Assessments
From Apprenticeship to Membership. Creating the experts of the future.
What is an End-Point Assessment?
The End-Point Assessment is the final and most significant stage of an apprenticeship. It’s an unbiased and independently delivered assessment that establishes whether an apprentice is competent against the knowledge, skills and behaviours outlined in the apprenticeship standard.
An End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) delivers End-Point Assessments. To be an EPAO the organisation must be on the Education and Skills Funding Agency register and Ofqual regulated.
