I am not sure that is correct as the training plan covers the period including the EPA (From start date to the Apprenticeship Planned End Date: see the following from the funding rules.
P341 The evidence pack must include:
P341.1 Evidence of progress reviews taking place in accordance with paragraphs P59 to P60 and the agreed outcome or actions of these reviews, including progress towards the training plan, signed by all three parties (apprentice, employer, provider)
P332.4 A discussion with the individual and their employer so that all parties have a shared understanding of the desired learning outcomes, the results of the initial assessment activities listed above (see paragraphs P24.1 to P24.3) and how this information will inform a tailored training plan; the parties must agree that:
P332.4.1 The training programme aligns with an approved apprenticeship standard, at the most appropriate level;
P332.4.2 An apprenticeship is the most appropriate training programme for the individual;
P332.4.3 The individual’s job role has a productive purpose and that there is a direct link between this job role and the chosen apprenticeship standard;
P332.4.4 The employer will provide the individual with the appropriate support and supervision to carry out both their job role and their apprenticeship (including the end-point assessment), particularly where the apprentice is working flexibly, including working from home;
P332.4.5 The employer will release the apprentice for off-the-job training as required by the training plan; and
P332.4.6 The employer will provide the apprentice with the opportunity to embed and consolidate the knowledge, skills and behaviours gained through off-the-job training into the workplace.

Hi, Our training plans show the planned reviews up to and including the practical period end date. Once in Gateway, as I understand there is no requirement for formal reviews, however, it is best practice to do some form of engagement and record this. We capture notes on any support towards planning and preparation in Gateway and complete a post EPA exit review when the results are received to capture final destination, progression data and overall feedback.
As there is no teaching and learning or off the job in gateway, that is why we don't complete formal reviews.
Not sure if that helps.

Hi
I am aware that we are required to have a review with apprentices at least every 12 weeks (and we have been doing so).
Please can you confirm that this is only during their practical period and would not continue during the EPA period. My understanding is that it is just during the practical period but don't want to fall short of the requirements.
Thanks in advance for your help.
