Out of Hours Assessment
We’re often asked about apprentices being able to take end point assessment (EPA) or apprenticeship assessment outside of usual office hours, so we introduced Out of Hours Assessment. This includes:
- Evening assessment
- Weekend assessment
- Early morning assessment.
With the range of apprentices, employers and industries we serve, we’re committed to being flexible and this is the latest of many benefits that 1st for Awarding offers apprentices and providers.
What times are available for Out of Hours assessment?
We offer times to suit your apprentices and their working patterns. This includes:
- Morning starting before 9am
- Evening starting or finishing after 5:30pm
- Assessment on a weekend or bank holiday
Considerations
We encourage training providers and employers to consider any relevant safeguarding measures, as well as policies that may be relevant, such as a lone working policy if the apprentice will be in the workplace alone at the time of assessment.
There is an additional fee payable for this service. Training providers will find full details in their contract with us. If you’d like more information, please contact your account manager or our head office team on 01642 205207.
