We provide End-point Assessment services
All apprenticeship standards must contain an end-point assessment. These must be conducted by independent End-point Assessment organisations to ensure that all apprentices following the same standard are assessed in a fair and standardised manner.
VTCT is registered as an End-point Assessment organisation for Hairdressing and Barbering and Beauty Therapy. You can apply to have us undertake the assessments for you. See the documents and application below to assist you with this process.
The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) have announced an additional discretionary option of a package of evidence and professional discussion to replace an EPA, for circumstances where it is not possible for an EPA to take place, or in exceptional circumstances where it would not be appropriate to proceed with a practical EPA in a salon environment.

Working together with and guided by the qualification regulators, we are monitoring the ongoing situation. If you have any questions regarding this please contact epa@vtct.org.uk or customersupport@vtct.org.uk.
