It will provide you with the building blocks to carry out end-point assessment in future, or prepare your apprentices for it.
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”
