ENDPOI NTAS ES MENT The End Point Assessment (EPA) is an independent assessment that takes place after the final year of the apprenticeship. It is designed to test that the learner is competent in their occupation by assessing the knowledge, skills and behaviour (KSB) outcomes detailed in the approved Apprenticeship Standard. For this degree apprenticeship, the EPA consists of two components: - a professional discussion based on the apprentices' portfolio - a project proposal, presentation and questioning. All apprentices must pass their EPA to successfully complete their apprenticeship and academic degree. ENTRY REQUI REMENTS Apprentices should be in full-time employment (eg employed for at least 30 hours per week) throughout the duration of the apprenticeship. Apprentices must have GCSE grade C/4 or above in Maths and English before they complete the EPA (or an equivalent Level 2 qualification). In some cases, apprentices are able to complete Functional Skills alongside their apprenticeship in order to have the needed Level 2 qualification ahead of EPA. Apprentices must also have the following: - A 2.2 honours degree in a relevant subject, or an appropriate CIPD diploma; - Up to 3 years' post-degree experience in a role related to human resource practice. Non-graduates with a sufficiently strong certified or experiential learning may be eligible to apply for Accreditation of Prior Certified Learning (APCL) or Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL). This is agreed on a case-by-case basis. Employers may set additional entry requirements suitable for their organisational needs.
