End-Point Assessment (EPA) is more than just the final stage of an apprenticeship – it is the moment apprentices demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours they have worked so hard to develop. A high-quality EPA should feel fair, supportive and professionally delivered, giving apprentices the confidence to perform at their best while assuring employers of genuine occupational competence.
So, what makes our EPAs the best choice for apprentices, providers and employers alike? Here’s how we deliver excellence at every stage of the journey.
What makes our EPAs the best choice for apprentices?
We believe an assessment shouldn’t be a hurdle; instead, we see it as the ultimate opportunity to showcase the skills, knowledge, and behaviours an apprentice has developed throughout their journey. Our EPAs are designed to be a fair, transparent, and supportive conclusion of an apprentice’s hard work. By providing comprehensive preparation materials and clear guidance from day one, we remove the “fear of the unknown,” ensuring every apprentice feels confident, informed, and empowered to demonstrate their full potential.
What benefits do our EPAs bring to the providers delivering them?
Efficiency and expert support are at the heart of our service. We take the administrative headache out of the process with clear, reliable timescales and a dedicated EPA Officer who acts as your direct point of contact. Furthermore, our Independent End-point Assessors are seasoned professionals who understand the nuances of delivery, ensuring the final assessment is high-quality, consistent, and rigorously managed.
Which industry-valued skills do learners gain from our EPAs?
Our EPAs validate essential industry skills across a variety of sectors, including hospitality, leadership. Our assessments go beyond simple testing; they validate genuine occupational competence. Whether it is leadership and management, hospitality, customer service, transport, or fashion and textiles, our EPAs ensure learners have mastered the specific technical skills and professional behaviours that employers actually look for. We don’t just tick boxes; we certify that a learner is truly industry-ready.
What gives you confidence that our EPAs maintain high industry standards?
Our confidence is built on a foundation of sector-led expertise. We collaborate closely with industry specialists to ensure every assessment is strictly aligned with the latest assessment plans. This, combined with our robust internal quality assurance and a team of active experts in their fields, ensures that a Skills and Education Group certificate remains a mark of excellence across the sector.
Can you share some feedback from employers or learners about our EPAs?
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to the EPA team. We had a level 2 commis chef apprentice who did their EPA professional discussion yesterday morning. They have turned around the result in under 24 hours and before the Xmas break which is a huge achievement and relief to the learner. AMAZING and exactly why the BIIAB are our chosen EPA.”
