To become an End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO), you need to follow these steps 1:
- Choose a standard.
- Demonstrate competence as an organisation, such as industry projects or involvement in developing standards.
- Hire assessors with occupational competence, qualifications and experience.
- Register for a Bravo account.
- Ensure data compliance.
- Provide company information.
The application process to the register of EPAOs is in 2 stages 1. You can apply to become an EPAO by completing the online application in the apprenticeship assessment service 2. The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) has built a service to help potential and existing EPAOs understand the business opportunities for apprenticeship assessment 2.
Please note that there are no specific certification requirements for becoming an EPAO 3. However, you must gain Ofqual recognition before your application to the EPAO register will be reviewed 2.
I hope this helps!

Can anyone recommend someone to speak to regarding setting your training provider up as an EPAO? It is an area I cannot profess to be an expert in.. if such an area even exists.
Edit: By which I am referring to the activities associated with independent assessment, EQA, conducting the EPA, administering it etc., rather than the process of appearing on the APAR
