Important
Effective from 01 August 2025, the following terminology will change as outlined in Annex B of the Apprenticeship Funding Rules 2025-2026 document:
- Apprenticeship Assessment will replace End-Point Assessment
- Assessment Organisation will replace End-Point Assessment Organisation
- Gateway to Completion will replace Gateway
All the appropriate guidance documents and support will be updated in due course to reflect these changes. Please ensure to use the correct terms when searching for support.
Once the apprentice has been Approved for EPA by the IEA and this status is showing with the apprentice's record in ACE360, you will need to use the booking & scheduling tool in ACE360 to request the apprentice's EPA of a date that you choose.
Pearson require 5 working days' notice (as a minimum) to arrange an EPA, however, this is dependent on IEA availability and arrangements for specific standards.
Further details on how to request an EPA can be found through the relevant support article, available in the Circle platform.
Please note: ACE360 Knowledge Base articles have now transitioned to the Skills Federation Circle, you can sign up for this here.
