Early Years
We offer a range of end-point assessment (EPA) standards in early years. Roles within the early years sector can include, but are not limited to: Early Years Educator, Nursery Practitioner and Childcare Assistant.
The early years sector is integral to providing high quality support for children and young people. Apprenticeships in this sector are a great opportunity for on-the-job training to provide valuable workplace experience and off-the-job training to support in achieving professional qualifications.
Our EPA service for these standards will provide complete EPAs within 8 weeks of Gateway acceptance and results from each assessment component within five working days. You’ll also be provided with your own dedicated Relationship Manager who’ll be on hand to support you at all stages of EPA. All our standards have been developed by sector experts to ensure you are receiving the highest quality support for your EPA.
See listed below our range of early years EPA standards.
