Health and Social Care Foundation Apprenticeship EPA
FA0007 Level 2 EPA for Heath and Social Care Foundation Apprenticeship.
EPA Assessment Methods
​
Method 1: Knowledge test.
This will be conducted online by one of our invigilators using platforms such as Teams or Zoom. The test will cover outcome AO1:
Access to work: Legislation, policies and codes of conduct in a health and social care setting. AO1: Legislation, policies and codes of conduct. Access to work knowledge and skills are fundamental to employment in occupations related to this Foundation Apprenticeship. These knowledge and skills are mapped to AO1. Where acquiring these knowledge and skills is required to access the workplace, this assessment should happen early in the programme. The test is multiple choice and is one hour in duration. The apprentice will need to screen share and the assessment is recorded for quality and training purposes.
​
Method 2: Practical Assessment: The practical assessment must give the foundation apprentice the opportunity to demonstrate the practical application of the knowledge and skills they have acquired over the course of their training. This may take many forms, including (but not limited to) observation, undertaking a set task in a simulated environment, direct assessment of materials generated during their training, projects, presentations, compiling a portfolio of evidence.
​
Technical knowledge and skills
AO2: Delivering safe and high-quality care and support
AO3: The wider health and social care system
Technical knowledge and skills are areas of technical ability in related occupations. These knowledge and skills are mapped to AO2 and AO3.
AO2 describes those knowledge and skills essential to providing safe and high-quality care and support that meets diverse individual needs. AO3 describes those knowledge and skills specifically associated with understanding and knowledge of the sector, use of systems, and food hygiene and preparation.
