Training providers are required to give sufficient notice when requesting an End-Point Assessment (EPA) exam to ensure that arrangements can be made effectively.
Notice Period
A minimum of 10 working days’ notice is required for any requested exam dates
This notice period allows the necessary coordination and planning to take place before the assessment is confirmed.
Why This Notice Is Required
The 10 working day timeframe ensures that:
The EPA Coordination team can:
Review the request
Check availability for the proposed date
An appropriate invigilator can be sourced and confirmed
The Exams team has sufficient time to:
Process the booking
Prepare and schedule the assessment once the invigilator is confirmed
Important Considerations
Requests submitted with less than 10 working days’ notice may:
Be more difficult to accommodate
Require alternative dates to be arranged
Providers should:
Plan ahead when preparing learners for EPA
Submit booking requests as early as possible to secure preferred dates
