Coaching Professional Level 5

Version 1.0

Overview

End-Point Assessment (EPA) is the final assessment for an apprentice. An apprentice cannot achieve their apprenticeship without passing the End-Point Assessment.


EPA is an opportunity for an apprentice to showcase what they have learnt during their time on programme. This assessment includes a Knowledge Test, Observation with Q&A and Interview Supported by Portfolio of Evidence.


End-Point Assessment for Coaching Professional Level 5 can be carried out remotely or face-to-face.


Gateway

Gateway requirements for Coaching Professional Level 5 apprentices are;

  • Evidence the apprentice has achieved Level 2 maths and English

Apprentices will be given 90 minutes to answer 40 multiple choice questions. This test is completed online and will be invigilated by a NQual representative.


Observation with Q&A

Apprentices will be observed carrying out two, 1 hour long coaching sessions with different individuals, followed by a 20-minute question and answer session. The observations can be spilt over one working day.

If an apprentice Fails their EPA component, they will be offered the opportunity to re-sit / re-take the component. It is then up to the apprentice’s employer how many attempts an apprentice is given.
