The End-point Assessment usually won’t cost more than 20% of the agreed training price. End-point Assessment will be delivered by an independent End-point Assessment Organisation (EPAO). Lifetime's preferred EPAO Innovate Awarding provide one free resit within their provision.
Who pays for End-point Assessment?
End-point Assessment costs are paid for on the employer’s behalf by their training provider. Levy paying employers will pay for End-point Assessment with apprenticeship levy funds. Non-levy paying employers will pay for End-point Assessment through the process of co-investment, paying 5% of the cost with the remaining amount covered by the government.
Lifetime offers an end-to-end programme, so include the training and End-point Assessment costs in one overall programme price.
