Best for Training is offering this Qfqual Accredited EPA qualification as a distance course for independent EPA assessors, employed by an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) and are currently undertaking end point assessments. This distance learning model has been approved by the awarding organisation, Highfield.

There is a great demand for Independent EPA Assessors to undertake apprenticeship End Point Assessments. With a Government target of 3 million apprentices, every new apprentice must complete an End Point Assessment.  It’s clear there is a rapidly growing need for suitable people to become Independent End Point Assessors. This is a fantastic CPD opportunity for any independent EPA assessor looking to expand their employment prospects and accredit their skills.

The distance option has been designed to support independent EPA assessors to gain a recognised Ofqual qualification to recognise their skills and knowledge in undertaking end point assessments. It will also support new independent assessors to gain further understanding and knowledge about end point assessment processes.

If you are not currently employed by an EPAO and working as an independent EPA assessor you should consider our online Teams training which you can complete before you begin working an an EPA independent assessor.
