The Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP) has released the results of its recent survey on end point assessment (EPA), revealing that providers desire more consistency across End Point Assessment Organisations (EPAO) as well as better availability and improved feedback to apprentices.
AELP recently conducted a survey on End Point Assessment (EPA) to gain insight in the experiences of the sector in this area. The survey – taking place between March and April 2023 – included responses from 80 respondents. These came from a range of provider types, sectors, and from a broad geographical area.
The outcomes of the survey will be used to shape AELP future policy positions on End Point Assessment and the organisation’s asks of the government, Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) and the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), as well as the External Quality Assurance Providers - Ofqual and Office for Students (OfS).
As part of the survey, AELP asked providers to list their top three areas of priority for EPA going forward.
