Level 3 Award in Undertaking End-Point Assessment – blended learning course

Are you a qualified vocational assessor looking to conduct end-point assessment in future?

End-point assessment is different and high stakes.

This new blended learning Level 3 course for qualified assessors has been designed for those planning to deliver (or already conducting) end-point assessment. It will provide you with the building blocks to carry out end-point assessment in future, and help you to get ahead of the game.

SDN has helped many of the first EPAOs (and their assessor teams) to set up and start delivering end-point assessment, and have a cutting-edge insight into what end-point assessment looks like in practice.

Here’s what course delegates have said so far:

“I have been extremely impressed with the course content and delivery. Vital course for anyone who is considering a career as an end-point assessor”

“The course has been outstanding – I would have no hesitation recommending SDN to do further training”
