Apprenticeship Standards have been written by employers and industry experts and consist of approved industry based skills, knowledge and behaviours. Apprentices have a period of learning and development, followed by a series of end point assessment activities which are conducted by registered end point assessment organisations.
For some Standards, there is the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications, which can lead to industry body membership.
The End Point Assessment (EPA) is the way in which apprentices are assessed to confirm achievement of their apprenticeship. This assessment can take a variety of forms, for example a knowledge test, portfolio of evidence, an interview, project presentation, observation or professional discussion.
