+==== End point assessment (EPA) ====
+The End Point Assessment will test the entire Standard (skills, knowledge and behaviours)
+and be undertaken as follows:
+   * Portfolio of evidence – produced towards the end of the apprenticeship, containing evidence from real work projects which have been completed during the apprenticeship. The portfolio will inform the technical discussion
+   * Practical test – four exercises to assess the apprentices’ skills, knowledge and behaviour. This takes place in a controlled environment over 48 hours.
+   * Employer reference – confirming the apprentice has met the standards
+   * Completion and achievement of all the modules in the BSc Cyber Security Technical Professional Degree
+   * Passes at Level 2 English and Maths (If not already achieved).
+   * Technical discussion - to elicit sufficient evidence against the knowledge, skills and behaviours to inform whether the minimum standard has been achieved. This lasts 2 hours.
+Two independent assessors (from a University) will assess each element of the end point assessment and will then decide whether to award successful apprentices with a pass, a merit or a distinction.
