Our End Point Assessment Organisation Processes

Completion of the Gateway Declaration & Registration Form confirms that the employer and training provider is satisfied the stated apprentice(s) has fulfilled all requirements of the Apprentice Standard, including on-programme mandatory qualifications and attainment of the appropriate level for Maths & English. Providing a declartion of their apprentice meeting the gateway specified in the approved assessment plan is an important start to our process. FutureQuals in accordance with the ESFA Conditions will audit the evidence (ESFA Conditions section**)

Linked with the Gateway Declaration, a batch registration is providing each apprentice with their own unique registration number, which is automatically provided to you by our supportive systems on successful upload. A contract for the provision of EPAO services must be in place to allow this part of the process to take place. A fee of £35 per apprentice applies here regardless of the Apprentice Standard/Assessment Plan level and overall EPA costs

The outstanding balance of the overall agreed EPA costs for the requested dates is settled to secure the booking and allow FutureQuals to proceed with confirming the arrangements with its End-point Assessors. Confirmation of required services, venue, dates, names of apprentices, names of LEPAs & EPAs are provided through our automated supportive booking systems.

Alongside your confirmation is your very own online access code to our support tools, specifically designed to support your employee to prepare for thier end-point assessment, in addition to tools that are posted out to the employer for onward distribution to the apprentice.

Internal Quality Asurance is an integral part to our operational plan, ensuring that nothing less than first class service is provided to our customers throughout the end to end journey. Our customers are important to use, which is why we firmly believe that the apprentice, the employer, the provider and the Government are seen as our customers.

After passing all our internal validity checks your apprentice overall grading and other required data fields by the ESFA are uploaded into our secure SFTP certification account. These are then further validted and triangulated by your own data recorded in the apprentices Individual Learning Record (ILR). Should all aspects of this data check be successfull, your apprenticeship certificates are posted directly to the employer to be awarded to the apprentice employee.
