Painting and Decorating Advanced Apprenticeship

The end-point assessment (EPA) will assess how an apprentice can apply their skills, knowledge and behaviours acquired in their apprenticeship, through the following three assessments carried out after the gateway point of the apprenticeship: 1. Knowledge test – this test will consist of multiple-choice questions on either a paper-based or computer-based platform. 2. Skills test – assessed over three consecutive days by an Independent Assessor, this assessment will holistically assess skills, knowledge and behaviours acquired throughout the apprenticeship. 3. Professional discussion – assessed by an Independent Assessor following the skills test, this discussion will consist of questions that clarify and probe the apprentice’s knowledge and skills based on the portfolio of evidence developed by the apprentice. The EPA can only be taken after the conditions of the Assessment Gateway have been successfully achieved.
