Can you work with more than one EPAO?

Talk to us about becoming your additional EPAO.

If you’re a training provider or college managing multiple apprenticeship standards, you already know how important the right End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) is.

But here’s something not everyone realises:
👉 You’re not locked in to just one EPAO.
You can work with multiple—and in many cases, you should.

🔄 Why use more than one EPAO?

Here are a few reasons why many providers are choosing to diversify their EPA partnerships:

  • Faster turnaround times in time-sensitive sectors
  • More flexibility in scheduling assessments
  • Better fit for specific standards (e.g., Adult Care, Management, Business)
  • Stronger support for learners with unique needs
  • Reduced risk if one EPAO becomes overwhelmed or unresponsive

🤝 Why add Advance EPA as your additional EPAO?

We regularly partner with providers who already have a primary EPAO in place but want added flexibility and support.

Here’s what makes us a great partner:

🔹 Speed & Simplicity – Quick bookings, clear communications, and rapid results
🔹 Personable Service – Bespoke support from a small, specialist team
🔹 Transparent Processes – You always know where your apprentices stand
🔹 Trusted in Adult Care, Business, and Management – With great feedback from apprentices and providers alike

You don’t need to overhaul your current setup—you just need a reliable additional option when the situation calls for it.
