Prices effective from 1 March, 2023.
Frequently Asked Questions
We want to make sure that we can continue to sustain and develop the highest quality EPA solution for our customers; that's our priority. These new prices reflect increases in our costs over the last 26 months. We have not increased EPA fees since January 2021.
Our average price increase for remote assessments is 4.2% and 6.1% for face-to-face assessments. We are committed to keeping price increases to a minimum, and these are below the current rate of inflation.
This is to reflect increased travel costs.
The price increase takes effect on 1 March, 2023 for any EPAs taken on and from that date.
Yes, a new service agreement will be issued before the 1 March, 2023.
No, all fees are below 20%.
Our EPA fee’s cover more than just delivery of the assessment. They include:
- Administration, registration and assessment of EPA as set out in the standard.
- Providing guidance and support and the materials used in the delivery of EPA (including equipment or supplies necessary to enable the assessment to take place)
- Ensuring trained staff and appropriate premises are available to deliver EPA
- The development and maintenance of assessment instruments and tools
- To support any special arrangements we may need to put in place to ensure apprentices with additional needs can fairly access EPA
- Ensuring consistent and robust internal quality assurance (for instance moderation and standardisation of assessment instruments and tools, assessors and assessment decisions)
- Including any EQA charges we may incur
These are in line with permitted eligible costs:
