EPA Pro is our all-in-one software solution for end-point assessment management, submissions, and certification. With an easy-to-use interface, low learning curve, and a wide range of customisable features, we believe EPA Pro provides the best value for money – and is the most innovative solution – out of all the similar end-point assessment software products on the market. In this article, we introduced the key features that enable end-point assessment organisations (EPAOs) to efficiently manage the apprenticeship process, from evidence gathering, to gateway review, to successful completion.

EPA Pro Key Features And Benefits

1) Powerful resource management & planning tools – EPA Pro lets you create bespoke assessment plans, mapped to specific Apprenticeship Standards. Manage a range of apprenticeships across all available sectors and standards, with clear planning schedules for each EPA, and automatic feedback and updates issued to stakeholders.

2) Integrated assessment tools – EPA Pro comes with a range of assessment, planning, and reporting features, including integrated videoconferencing and online meetings,  progress tracking and automated resource allocation. Assessments can be planned individually or in bulk, to fit in with your client’s preferences or circumstances, and changes can easily be made directly through the platform. The platform also lets you set up automatic moderation plans based on custom rules, for increased transparency and efficiency.

This includes customisable gateway assessment forms, learner registration forms, assessment planning templates, and any other relevant documentation.
