Conveyancing and Probate Apprenticeship End Point Assessment (EPA)

Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study, so learners earn a salary as an employee and gain valuable skills and experience.

At the end of training, all apprentices undergo an independent assessment to verify that they have met the required level of occupational competence.

A thorough, objective, and well-structured end-point assessment (EPA) is crucial in assuring employers that apprentices who complete an apprenticeship standard are capable of carrying out the role. This assessment ensures they can effectively demonstrate the duties, knowledge, skills, and behaviours (KSBs) outlined in the occupational standard.

We are approved by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) as an End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) -  to conduct assessments for the following apprenticeship standards:

Conveyancing End-Point Assessment Training Provider Approval Process

Level 4 EPA Specifications for Conveyancing and Probate Technician

Level 6 EPA Specifications for Licensed Conveyancer and Probate Practitioner

Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC)

The CLC is the regulatory body for CLC lawyers and entities providing conveyancing, probate, and other legal services.

Upon successful completion of the end-point assessment (EPA), apprentices become eligible to apply to the CLC for professional registration on the CLC’s Register for Conveyancing Technicians or to obtain their first licence to practise as a Licensed Conveyancer.

Our role

We work in partnership with CLC to ensure the quality assurance and certification of qualifications that form part of qualification for apprenticeships.

Conveyancing end point assessment

End-point assessment must be conducted by an approved Apprentice Assessment Organisation (AAO) to ensure independence, validity, and compliance with apprenticeship standards. The final six months of the apprenticeship culminates in this assessment, which ensures that apprentices meet the occupational standards set by employers and demonstrate full competence in their role.

Apprentices undertake the EPA once their employer and training provider confirm they are ready and meet the required criteria.
