Achievement date following EPA

Created

None

I have a two-pronged scenario and want to gather some advice on what achievement date we should be using in the ILR in both of these scenarios:

Recruitment Resourcer Level 2....

  • Professional Discussion was completed in July 2022

  • Learner uploaded the project 16.09.2022

  • The moderation date by EPAO was 28.09.2022

 

Customer Service Practitioner Level 2....

  • all elements attended (Showcase, Observation & Professional Discussion) 20.09.2022
  • moderation date by EPAO 29.09.2022

 

The guidance is very "woolly" and our understanding is the last element completed should be the achievement date in the ILR.  Can someone help please?

On the basis that we interpret the conclusion of the EPA period as being once the final element has been sat, I would personally go for

  • scenario 1 - 16/09/2022
  • scenario 2 - 20/09/2022

This is slightly open to interpretation though, as you've alluded to, and I know a lot of providers who use the date the EPAO informed them, or the moderation date. As long as you employ a defensible, consistent approach, you should be fine.

I'd pick the same dates as Ben, but, as he says, the consistency is most important.
