Your employer will choose an end-point assessment organisation (EPAO) to deliver the EPA. Your employer and training provider should tell you what to expect and how to prepare for your EPA. The EPA period is typically 3 months.
The overall grades available for this apprenticeship are fail, pass, distinction. When you pass the EPA, you will be awarded your apprenticeship certificate.
