The end-point assessment consists of the following two assessment components:

  • Knowledge test comprising short-answer questions based on scenarios encountered in the workplace.
  • Practical driving assessment consisting of activities observed by the assessor and relating to the skills requirements in the apprenticeship standard. 

The overall apprenticeship is graded as Pass/Distinction, based on the apprentice’s combined achievement of the specified grading criteria across the two assessment components.

Overall EPA is graded as Pass/Distinction, and the two assessment components are separately graded too.

Our range of EPA resources such as EPA specification, additional resources document and practice knowledge test are designed to enhance learners’ knowledge and/or hone essential skills required.

They are available to our customers who have signed up to Pearson EPA and include information on:
