End Point Assessment

As part of your Payroll Assistant Manager Apprenticeship, an End-Point Assessment (EPA) will be completed to demonstrate your development and growth. You can achieve either a Pass or Distinction based on your final grade.
Multiple Choice
To assess your knowledge, you will complete a multiple-choice assessment, either remotely or in person. You will answer around 50 questions, each with four possible answers. This assessment must be completed in a quiet room, free from distractions and influence.
Professional Discussion Underpinned by Portfolio
After completing your portfolio, you will complete a professional discussion with one of our independent assessors. You will be required to showcase any additional learning you have completed during the apprenticeship. This additional learning can be both formal or informal learning completed or any assignments and projects you have completed.
Forget about lugging around all your work. The online iLearner portfolio system means all your work can be uploaded directly to your account and accessed wherever you go. The system is easy to navigate. Though, full guidance will be provided through our iLearner handbook and from your tutor through one-to-one support.
Project Report with Presentation and Questioning
Following from the multiple-choice test, you will complete a project and write a report. You will be asked to complete a project. The title and scope must be agreed with the End-Point Assessment Organisation at the gateway. The report should be a maximum of 5000 words (with a 10% tolerance).
