The requirements for what a learner must bring to their End-Point Assessment (EPA) will vary depending on whether the assessment is conducted remotely or on-site. These requirements are in place to ensure the security, integrity, and validity of the assessment.
Remote Assessments
For EPA conducted remotely (via Microsoft Teams), the learner must have the following:
1. Valid Photo Identification
A physical form of photo ID is required
Acceptable examples include:
Passport
Driving licence
The Independent End-Point Assessor will verify the learner’s identity at the start of the assessment
2. Suitable Technology
A device with a working camera and microphone (e.g. laptop or desktop)
A stable internet connection to ensure the assessment can run without disruption
3. Controlled Environment Requirements
The learner must be in a quiet, private space, free from interruptions
At the start of the assessment, the learner will be asked to provide a 360-degree view of the room using their camera
This is required to:
Confirm the learner is alone
Ensure there is no unauthorised support or materials present
Maintain a controlled assessment environment
On-Site Assessments
For assessments conducted in person:
1. Valid Photo Identification
The learner must bring a physical form of photo ID (e.g. passport or driving licence)
This will be checked by the assessor to confirm identity prior to the assessment
No additional equipment is typically required, as the assessment environment and any necessary materials will be provided on-site.
