Managing Director, Eamon Wilson, explains:
All apprenticeships now require an End Point Assessment (EPA), conducted by an independent body and assessor. Upon successful completion, the apprentice receives a formal government-issued certificate, verifying that they have undergone the appropriate training and successfully completed their apprenticeship. This certificate provides assurance to current and future employers of the apprentice's qualifications.
To be eligible for the EPA, the apprentice must complete their studies with EAS, successfully fulfill all elements of the apprenticeship programme, and receive confirmation from their employer that they are ready to proceed to the next stage.
EPAs can take various forms and are typically conducted at an external training centre for AM2s (Electrical) and at EAS Mechanicals centre for BSE (H&V) or Plumbing and Gas. These details will be fully communicated during the preparation phase as apprentices approach this stage.

FOR THE EMPLOYER:
16 to 21 year olds: The apprenticeship is fully funded.
22+ apprentices: Employers are required to contribute 5% of the total funding band. For example, if the agreed funding is £21,000 over four years, the employer contribution would be no more than £262.50 per year. All funding bands are publicly available, and EAS remains fully transparent with these figures.
Age eligibility: There is no upper age limit for starting an apprenticeship.
Levy payers: If you are a Levy-paying employer, the EAS team can support you in managing and utilising your Levy funds effectively.
