Exam Resit and Retake Requirements

Training Providers and Assessors can access End-Point Assessment Results via login to our Verve EPA system. Please use Verve EPA Login to access the system.

A review of the feedback should be undertaken by Training Provider, Employer and Apprentice when a Fail result is issued. Once all parties feel comfortable, we can arrange a date for the retake to take place. Resits/retakes requirements will vary by standard, please find a breakdown of standards below.

If you wish to book a resit, details must be submitted by the Training Provider via our TQUK Assessment Online Booking Form.

We ask for a minimum of five working days’ notice for any requests.

First resit is free of charge, a charge of £25 will apply to each resit/retake after.

Please note, this page will be continuously updated by Training Qualifications UK ensuring the information is up-to-date.
