The timeframe and process for releasing End-Point Assessment (EPA) results varies depending on the apprenticeship standard.
Level 3 Engineering Technician (Eng Tech)
For the Level 3 Engineering Technician standard:
The overall EPA results are issued by IMechE, who act as the EPAO for this standard
Results are released once the PIRF has been fully assessed
In this process:
EAL is responsible for delivering and marking the VIVA component
The VIVA result is provided to IMechE within 20 working days of completion
For updates or queries relating to final results, providers or apprentices should contact IMechE directly:
đ§ epa@imeche.org
All Other Standards
For all other apprenticeship standards assessed by EAL:
The final grade and result statement will be released within 20 working days of EPA completion
Results are published on ACE360, where providers can access and review them
Important Considerations
The 20 working day timeframe begins after the final EPA component has been completed
Delays may occur if:
Evidence is incomplete
Additional quality assurance checks are required
Providers should regularly check ACE360 for updates once EPA has concluded
