Level 2 Baker End-point Assessment
The Level 2 Baker apprenticeship standard is designed to fully prepare bakery apprentices for careers in a wide range of bakery environments – from traditional family bakers to large automated bakery plants to in-store supermarket bakeries. Bakery apprentices specialise in one option relevant to their workplace: craft, in-store or automated.
​
The baker end-point assessment (EPA) consists of three elements:
​
-
A knowledge test, answered through multiple choice questions
-
An assessment centre observation, taking up to 7 hours
-
A workplace observation and interview to assess their chosen specialism and taking between 4-8 hours.
​
The end-point assessment must be completed within twelve weeks of the EPA gateway​
​
The standard charge for EPA is 15-20% of the IfATE maximum funding rate, to view FDQ's Fee's Policy click here
