British Marine End Point Assessment Organisation
End Point Assessment
British Marine is a recognised End Point Assessment Organisation currently on the Governments official register for Apprenticeship Providers and Assessment Register (APAR) offering end point assessment for a number of sector relevant apprenticeship standards.
We work closely with our training providers and employers to ensure a high quality, fair and robust approach to the End Point Assessments (EPA's) for all apprentices we assess.
The service we offer has been designed to meet the needs of the apprentice and employer. We can carry out the assessment face to face or remotely, via Microsoft Teams on dates agreed to suit you and our robust registration, gateway and planning process for EPA, ensures there are no surprises, and the apprentice feels as comfortable as possible going forward to their assessments.
