Course Overview
Who should do this Award in Understanding EPA?
The Level 3 Award in the Principles of End-point Assessment is a theory-only unit course. It is ideal for those candidates who wish to gain a better understanding of the end-point process and do not currently meet the requirements for studying the practical unit.
If you have access to two apprentices who you can assess, you can do the 2-unit EPA Award. Once you've completed the 2-unit EQA qualification, you can progress to a role as an end-point assessor in beauty, construction, fitness, health & social care, education and more.
Should I do the CAVA or EPA course?
If you are looking for a more holistic understanding of the assessment process instead of only focusing on end-point assessment, our Level 3 CAVA might be a better fit for you. This course will enable you to assess a range of qualifications in addition to Apprenticeships e.g. NVQ or RQF courses.
