Overview of end-point assessment
Government has introduced a requirement that all apprenticeships contain an end-point assessment (EPA) which is a holistic assessment of the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviour (KSBs) that have been learnt throughout the apprenticeship. This is to make sure that apprentices meet the rigorous standard set by employers and are fully competent in the relevant occupation. Pearson must provide employers with the confidence that completing an apprenticeship means an individual is fully job-ready and that all apprentices, following the same standard, are assessed consistently, regardless of where they are undertaking their apprenticeship or who they are doing it with.
The Lead IQA will perform leadership duties to ensure safe, valid and accurate assessment decisions are made from their allocated team of independent end-point assessors (IEAs) and IQAs. The Lead IQA will also undertake nominated duties, as directed by Pearson, to ensure the guidelines set by external quality assurance organisations are adhered to.
