What does Digital Marketer EPA involve?

The end point assessment, or EPA, for the Digital Marketer standard is made up of four components:

  1. Portfolio
  2. Project
  3. Employer reference
  4. Structured interview

EPA 1: The portfolio

Apprentices complete a portfolio on programme and submit this for assessment after gateway. This portfolio should include evidence from real work projects which, taken together, cover the totality of the standard.

EPA 2: A project

The apprentice must undertake a business-related project over a one-week period away from the day to day workplace.

EPA 3: An employer reference

This shows the employer’s perspective on how the apprentice has performed in the workplace and how they have applied their knowledge, competencies and behaviours in work projects.

EPA 4: A structured interview with an assessor

The interview explores what has been produced in the portfolio and the project, as well as looks into how it has been produced.

Full guidance and resources will be provided by 1st for EPA.
