2022 Newsletter 14/03

Our latest edition of the OAL newsletter covers everything you need to know regarding Covid-19 adaptation end dates for each standard we offer, so you can fully prepare your apprentices for EPA. We have developed support materials regarding our new CASS monitoring strategy for qualifications, OAL online and EPA Process’ that you can freely access via oawards.co.uk and our online learning system. We would also like to remind you that OAL will be attending two awards ceremonies later this month as well as the annual apprenticeship conference to celebrate apprenticeships in North Yorkshire and across the country, we hope to see many of you at each of these events. 
Changes to End-Point Assessment Covid-19 flexibilities are beginning to take effect from the 31st of March for many of the standards we offer. We have developed a table detailing which standards will be affected by these changes as well as those that will retain a fully remote EPA option after the adaptations are ended.
