What are Apprenticeship Assessment Qualifications?

We offer a range of apprenticeship related qualifications within England to ensure consistency, quality and validity of assessment. These include:

End-Point Assessment (EPA) qualifications, which assess whether an apprentice has achieved the knowledge, skills and behaviours set out in an apprenticeship standard at the end of their programme.

Foundation Apprenticeships, which provide learners with introductory technical knowledge, practical skills and work related experience that support progression into apprenticeships, further education or employment.

Apprenticeship Assessments, which support the delivery and quality assurance of apprenticeship assessment activities. Under the revised approach, assessment can be integrated throughout the apprenticeship programme rather than relying solely on a separate End-Point Assessment (EPA) at the end.
