Business update - May 2020
An update on all that is new in the Business and Administration sector.
Update on Customer Services End-point Assessments
Following notification from the EQA Provider, OFQUAL, Pearson have been allowed to apply additional flexibility in the observation component of the Customer Service Practitioner Level 2 and Customer Service Specialist Level 3 End Point Assessment Standard.
The apprentice retains the option to pause EPA until such time that an onsite practical observation can take place safely. However, applying the discretion will give apprentices the opportunity to complete their EPA during these unusual circumstances. Apprentices should agree their assessment method in advance with their employer and training provider.
