What’s involved in Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Practitioner end point assessment?
Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Practitioner EPA has two elements. These are:
- Professional discussion, underpinned by a portfolio of evidence
- Work-based project followed by a report and a presentation with questions and answers
Detailed guidance and resources are provided.
EPA 1: Professional Discussion underpinned by a portfolio of evidence
A portfolio of evidence is submitted at gateway and supports the professional discussion. The assessment is carried out by video call, one-to-one between apprentice and assessor. It will last around 60 minutes.
EPA2: Work-based project report, presentation and Q&As
The project will be a real piece of work based on a business need. Apprentices will be asked to submit a 5,000 word report, deliver a 20 minute presentation and then have a 25 minute Q&A with the assessor.
