End Point Assessment Frequently Asked questions (FAQs) by Training Providers
How do I book in apprentices in with you for EPA?
Your centre will need to have a contract in place with us, but once this is done, give us a call and we will arrange a date and time for the EPA (0121 294 5153) or email us info@a2atraining.co.uk and we will contact you. You then need to add the details to ACE360 which is the secure platform we use to store and share apprentice information with you.

We use ACE360 to securely share information with training providers. Have a look in the Knowledge Base in ACE360 once your centre is registered with us.
Do you charge training providers to register with you?
No, we only charge per EPA and dates can be reserved from as little as £50 deposit.
