The number of learners that can be supervised by a single invigilator during an End-Point Assessment (EPA) exam depends on the format of the assessment.
On-Screen (Online) Exams
For exams delivered digitally (e.g. via the Surpass system):
One invigilator can supervise up to 20 apprentices at one time
This limit ensures that the invigilator can:
Effectively monitor all learners
Maintain exam integrity
Respond promptly to any issues or queries during the assessment
Paper-Based Exams
For paper-based exams (used in specific or exceptional circumstances):
One invigilator can supervise up to 30 learners
Paper-based exams typically require less individual technical support, allowing for a slightly higher ratio.
