Where will assessments take place and can assessments be taken remotely?

The location of assessments will depend on the specific assessment component and the requirements of the relevant apprenticeship Standard.

The majority of assessments are completed online, including knowledge-based assessments.

However, where an observation is required, the assessment will usually take place in the apprentice’s workplace. For full details on assessment venue requirements, please refer to the EPA Handbook for the relevant Standard, or contact the team on 0151 494 2072 or enquiries@openawards.org.uk to discuss your specific scenario.
