Although individual assessment organisations (AOs) may know how their qualifications work, knowledge of this sort is not easy to access. Where information has been made available, i.e. in qualification specifications, handbooks, and suchlike, this has tended to be at a very practical level. The principles underpinning the effective operation of CASLO qualifications, especially in relation to quality assurance, appear never to have been articulated.

The end-point assessor is independent from the person who has trained the apprentice, and only assesses them at the end of their programme. There are end-point assessment qualifications available for those who carry out EPA.

However, examples are given within the questions to help assessors and learners to understandwhat is being asked. All questions are cross-referenced to each unit's assessment criteria and are written in an easy to understand way.
