End Point Assessment (EPA)

After training with an approved provider, each apprentice undergoes an End Point Assessment (EPA) to confirm they meet the required occupational standards. The EPA Plan tests the knowledge, skills, and behaviours learned during the apprenticeship.

ISP’s role as an End Point Assessor

As an independent, ESFA-approved End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO), ISP is a market leader in conducting End Point Assessments (EPA). Employers need to select an EPAO at the beginning of the apprenticeship and choosing the ISP ensures a high-quality, reliable assessment process.
