If an apprentice does not pass one or more components of their End-Point Assessment (EPA) on the first attempt, they may be eligible to resit, in line with the requirements of the relevant assessment plan.
Initiating the Resit Process
When the apprentice is ready to resit:
The training provider must contact EPA Operations
An EPA Coordinator will:
Review the request
Enable the resit opportunity within ACE360
Resubmitting Gateway
Before a resit can be booked:
The provider must re-submit the learner through gateway in ACE360
This confirms that the apprentice is prepared to undertake the resit and meets all necessary requirements
GDF1 Requirements
Providers must ensure the Gateway Declaration Form (GDF1) is still valid
If the existing GDF1 form is more than 6 months old, a new, fully signed form must be uploaded as part of the gateway resubmission
Booking the Resit
Once the gateway has been re-submitted and approved:
The EPA booking process will begin again
A new assessment date will be scheduled in line with:
Assessor availability
Standard and component requirements
Important Considerations
Resits must comply with the rules set out in the standard’s Assessment Plan (e.g. time limits or attempt restrictions)
Delays in resubmitting gateway may impact how quickly a resit can be arranged
All documentation must be accurate, up to date, and complete to avoid further delays
