Preparing for End-Point Assessment (EPA) Guides
Highfield’s Preparing for End-Point Assessment (EPA) Guides have been developed to help employers, training providers and assessors navigate their way through the EPA process.
Also known as EPA-kits, each one has been designed to give you everything you need to get to grips with EPA for a particular standard. Put together using our extensive knowledge of EPA and the expertise of our subject matter experts, we’ve ensured that each kit is engaging, authoritative and relevant.
EPA-kits are used mainly by training providers and employers to support apprentices, but may also be of use to employers and assessors.

Apprentice Support Guides
Highfield’s Apprentice Support Guides, known as "Think About" documents are designed to prompt apprentices to think about how to best approach different assessment methods during end-point assessment (EPA).
Each guide has been developed to ensure apprentices feel more confident about their assessment, what they should expect and what to prepare for.
