Once your apprentice is referred to us following the gateway meeting, our team will arrange the assessment schedule with the employer and apprentice.  The specific assessment plan dictates the maximum EPA duration. Arrangements will also consider optimum assessment timings for the apprentice and employer. In the majority of cases, the full assessment process lasts between 6-9 weeks, but we can turn assessments around on-demand and in a shorter timescale. We are always available to discuss assessment scheduling, so please feel free to contact us and a member of our team will be happy to talk through the options.
