• Health
• Care and Education
• Business

At EPA Plus we know that assessment is a stressful process for many people. Our directly employed team of Independent End-Point Assessors (IEPA) are sector experts who provide assessment which is fair, consistent, and rigorous. IEPAs carry out assessment in a thorough, thoughtful and respectful way.
