Assessu Update: 31/07/2023

Please be aware that we have now finalised our updated Special Considerations Policy. This will be implemented with immediate effect.

The policy supports apprentices, employers and training providers to apply for a small adjustment to their End Point Assessment due to unforeseen circumstances outside of the apprentice’s control such as illness or bereavement. This application can be accessed via an online form here.

Please note that Special Consideration applications can only be made within the assessment window following Gateway and prior to the result being released. Please also be aware that capacity issues and work levels at the apprentice’s workplace are not classed as a valid reason for a special consideration as the employer must ensure that the apprentice has the time and capacity to complete their End Point Assessment within their assessment window when passing through Gateway. Any apprentices who fail to complete their initial End Point Assessment attempts within a stipulated window will be given an overall Fail and will be subject to resit / retake requirements within the relevant assessment plan.

If you have any queries regarding special considerations, please let us know.
