Exam Resit and Retake Requirements
Training Providers and Assessors can access End-Point Assessment Results via login to our Verve EPA system. Please use the following link 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 online booking form which can be found here:
