Details
Ofqual regulates apprenticeship end-point assessments (EPAs). The document above shows apprenticeship standards for which there is a regulated awarding organisation recognised to deliver the EPA and whether EPA is available to apprentices on Ofqual’s Register of Regulated Qualifications.

The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education publishes a list of apprenticeship standards that have been approved for delivery.
Status of Ofqual regulated apprenticeship end-point assessments
Ofqual regulates the apprenticeship end-point assessments listed in the above document.
Compliance with assessment plans
Where Ofqual regulates an apprenticeship end-point assessment, all assessments for that standard must comply with our General Conditions of Recognition and EPA Qualification-level conditions.
Condition EPA1.1 requires an awarding organisation to comply with any requirements, and have regard to any guidance, contained in the relevant Assessment Plan for each EPA that it makes available or proposes to make available.
Under Condition EPA3.3, an awarding organisation is also required to notify Ofqual where the Assessment Plan for one of its EPAs is reviewed or amended.
An Assessment Plan is defined in Condition EPA6.4 as the version of an apprenticeship assessment plan, published under section A2(1) of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009, which is specified in a list published by Ofqual and revised from time to time.
This list is specified in the attached document “Confirmed Ofqual regulated end-point assessments”. The list indicates where there is a regulated awarding organisation with that particular standard in its scope and whether EPA is available to apprentices on Ofqual’s Register. You can find further information about an EPA’s availability in the key dates section of its record on the Register. In some cases, there may be a regulated awarding organisation with the standard in scope, but where an EPA is not yet available. This list is updated regularly to reflect where this position changes. Please note that only the versions of apprenticeship assessment plans listed in this document will meet the definition of an assessment plan in Condition EPA6.4. Ofqual will review any subsequent version of a plan and, where appropriate, amend the list to include that subsequent version.
