What is the EPA Assessor Course About?

An End-Point Assessment is the final part of an Apprenticeship, assessed by an Independent End-Point Assessor or IEPA. The purpose of this is to come to a decision on the competency levels of the Apprentice. Almost every End-Point Assessment out there requires the IEPA to hold a recognised assessor qualification, such as the CAVAA1, or D32/33.

A standard recognised assessor qualification qualifies you to become an End-Point Assessor. Unfortunately, there is no accredited End-Point Assessor qualification alone, which qualifies you to become an IEPA. 

With that being said, none of the recognised assessor qualifications teaches you how to End-Point Assess. This is due to the fact that End-Point Assessment is a newer feature of the assessing world than the assessing qualifications. That’s why we at Brooks and Kirk designed and developed our very own exclusive End-Point Assessor training course.

End-Point Assessor Course Content

Lesson 1: An Introduction to Apprenticeships

In Lesson 1 we dive into the fundamental distinctions between the old Apprenticeship ‘Frameworks’ and the new ‘Standards.’ This lesson will provide a comprehensive overview of the changes that have taken place in the apprenticeship landscape and equip you with a clear understanding of the key differences between the two.

Lesson 2: Role and Responsibilities of an Independent-End-Point Assessor (IEPA)

Moving on to Lesson 2, you will build upon your understanding of the new Apprenticeship Standards. This lesson focuses on the pivotal role that Independent End-Point Assessors play within the context of new apprenticeships. You will gain insights into the specific responsibilities and duties associated with being an IEPA, empowering you to effectively fulfill your role in the assessment process.

Lesson 3: Assessment Plans & Grading

Lesson 3 delves into the unique aspects of assessment plans and grading in the context of an End-Point Assessment. Through this lesson, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how these elements differ from traditional assessing methods. By exploring the intricacies of assessment plans and grading, you will acquire the necessary knowledge to assess apprentices’ performance accurately and fairly during their End-Point Assessment.

Lesson 4: Assessment Methods in End-Point Assessment

Building upon the previous lessons, Lesson 4 explores the varied assessment methods employed specifically for End-Point Assessments. This session emphasises the differences between the old and new Apprenticeships, highlighting assessment methods that are not covered in the NVQ Assessor course. By familiarizing yourself with these assessment methods, you will be well-prepared to employ a diverse range of techniques when assessing apprentices’ competency in their chosen occupation.

Lesson 5: End-Point Assessment Organisations (EPAOs)

In Lesson 5 we provide you with crucial insights into the prospective employers for IEPAs. This lesson explores the role and responsibilities of End-Point Assessment Organisations, equipping you with a comprehensive understanding of their functions and their significance in the assessment process. Understanding the EPAOs’ role is essential for IEPAs to effectively collaborate with these organisations and ensure a smooth assessment experience for apprentices.

Lesson 6: Mock End-Point Assessment

Lastly, in Lesson 6 you will have the opportunity to put theory into practice. This hands-on session involves grading two Mock End-Point Assessments, each consisting of three components. By engaging in this practical exercise, you will be able to apply the knowledge and skills you have acquired throughout the course, gaining valuable experience in assessing apprentices’ performance in a simulated End-Point Assessment scenario.
