Once a learner has successfully passed gateway, the End-Point Assessment (EPA) booking process is initiated to schedule their assessment.
Booking Timelines
Following gateway approval, the EPA booking process will begin
A booking will be created within 2 working days of the gateway being approved
EPA is typically scheduled to take place within a 4–6 week window, although this may vary depending on:
Assessor availability
The specific standard and pathway
Any location or logistical requirements
Assessor Allocation and Booking
An EPA Coordinator will:
Assign an Independent End-Point Assessor
Create the EPA booking within ACE360
The assigned assessor will then:
Review and accept the booking
Confirmation and Communication
Once the assessor has accepted the booking:
The EPA Operations team will send an Outlook calendar invitation
This invite will be sent to:
The learner
The Independent End-Point Assessor
The training provider
The employer
The invitation will include all relevant assessment details, such as:
Date and time
Location (or virtual meeting details, where applicable)
Any additional instructions or requirements
These details are based on the information recorded in ACE360, so it is important that all learner and contact information is accurate and up to date.
