For most apprenticeship standards, no additional action is required from the training provider once the End-Point Assessment (EPA) result has been confirmed. However, there are specific additional requirements for certain standards.
Engineering Technician and Rail Standards
For the Engineering Technician and Rail standards, additional documentation must be completed before the apprenticeship certificate can be claimed.
These include:
Performance Review Interview Form (PIRF)
Employer Endorsement Form
Process for Submitting Additional Evidence
An EPA Coordinator will contact the training provider directly to request the required documentation
The provider must ensure the forms are:
Fully completed
Accurate
Returned promptly to avoid delays in certification
What Happens Next
Once the PIRF has been received:
It will be forwarded to IMechE for review (where applicable)
Once the Employer Endorsement Form has been received:
The certificate claim process can proceed
Important Considerations
Certificates cannot be claimed until all required documentation has been received and approved
Delays in returning the PIRF or Employer Endorsement Form may result in delays to the learner receiving their certificate
Providers should respond promptly to any requests from the EPA Coordinator
