Best for Training is offering this Qfqual Accredited EPA qualification as a distance course for independent assessors who 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 Assessors to undertake apprenticeship End Point Assessments. With a Government target of 3 million apprentices, every new apprentice must have 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 development opportunity for any independent assessor looking to expand their employment prospects and accredit their skills.
The distance option has been designed to support independent assessors to gain a recognised Ofqual qualification to identify their skills and knowledge in undertaking end point assessment.
